Sarmishtha Roy
A trailblazing woman in the big bad largely male Bollywood environs, Roy came to attention right with her first film, 1994's Yeh Dillagi.
With a flair for the urbane and the Americanised, Roy has gone on to create funky rooms and bizarrely interesting penthouses, equally adept at mansions and mayhem.
She's a Yash Raj Films regular, working on successes like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Dil Toh Pagal Hai, but varies her other projects like Taal, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Gajagamini and Koi Mil Gaya.
Her last film? Ta Ra Rum Pum.
