The list cited Ananya with the citation which read, "Ananya Panday made her Bollywood acting debut in 2019 in the romantic comedy "Student of the Year 2." Since then, she's appeared in 11 films, including "CTRL", a Hindi-language thriller shown on Netflix.

The daughter of actor Chunky Panday, she has 26 million followers on Instagram."

Meanwhile, Ishaan’s citation stated, “Ishaan Khatter is on the verge of becoming an A-lister both in Bollywood and Hollywood. For his first film, the indie Hindi drama 'Beyond the Clouds', Khatter won the Filmfare Awards' Best Male Debut in 2019 and the India International Film Academy's Best Male Debut award. Khatter moved on to star in 'A Suitable Boy' (2020) on Netflix and last year acted alongside superstar Nicole Kidman in 'The Perfect Couple'”.
