Five women to watch out for
Sania Mirza
She has gone where no Indian woman has gone before: The third round of a Grand Slam event. The 18-year-old Hyderabadi has just given Indian women’s tennis its biggest break ever.
Sonia Gandhi
"Possibly the first recorded example of a politician with humility," the Guardian said of Sonia Gandhi.The Congress president continues to ride high on the
wave of respect she earned after turning down the highest seat of power
Kareena Kapoor
2004 was a roller-coaster ride for Kareena Kapoor. Her impressive
performances in Chameli, Dev, Yuva, Fida and Aitraaz ended her bad run
at the box office. 2005 promises to be even bigger: She’s signed three
films with Salman Khan and will begin shooting for Harry Baweja’s Love
Story 2005-2050.
Teesta Setalvad
The ugly turn in the Zaheera Sheikh case has not slowed down Teesta
Setalvad. Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand continue to be a
voice against religious hatred with the journal 'Communalism Combat'.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
India's Biotech queen started out with Rs 10,000 and a garage in
Bangalore as an office. Today, Biocon has become only the second
Indian company to breach the $ 1 billion market cap mark on the first day
of its listing. And Shaw is now officially the wealthiest woman in India.
