The ‘Lady Tendulkar of Indian Women’s Cricket’, Mithali Raj was born in a family that treated women as equals to men.

Once she was burning with fever and yet played the international cricket match as she thought it was her responsibility. Mithali Raj’s biopic Shabash Mithu starring Taapsee Pannu is set to floor audiences in 2021.

Harshita is known for her exceptional production designs and has also won an Emmy for it.
3. Bhawna Paliwal

The 22-year-old girl has a past that has made her who she is today. Born in Asia’s most infamous red-light area, Shweta was the eldest of three daughters.
