7. Konkona Sensharma -- Mr & Mrs Iyer, Page 3
Konkona performed frequently as a child actress in mother Aparna Sen's films, but nobody was prepared for the ovation that would follow her first grown-up film. The English feature Mr & Mrs Iyer saw Koko playing a Tamiliam woman, and so perfect was her mastery of accent and inflection that we were all bowled over.
Her first Hindi feature, Page 3, cast her as a struggling entertainment journalist, and her role bagged her much well-deserved acclaim. Clearly a girl who knew just what she was doing.
