Some careers are built inside one industry. Nargis Fakhri's was built across several. She was born in Queens, New York, and started as a fashion model. Then she moved into Indian cinema, appeared in a Hollywood studio comedy, and became a familiar face in music videos and on fashion and awards-show red carpets. Her work now reaches from Mumbai and New York to Cannes and Dubai. This profile follows that journey: where she began, what she has done on screen, the awards and hono

Some music is hard to place. A drum break pushes forward at speed. Underneath it, a trained classical voice or the grain of a traditional instrument holds the ground. It doesn't sound like a collision. It sounds like two languages working out a shared grammar. That space between worlds is where DJ Smokey works. She is a Mumbai-based DJ, music producer, electronic live artist and educator, and her official website describes more than 15 years in the music industry. Her sound

A few years ago, lifestyle content and fashion content were separate genres. Travel belonged somewhere else again. Today, the most recognisable creator profiles blur those lines. An outfit is shaped by the place it is photographed in. A café, a hotel room or a market lane becomes part of the styling. A product sits naturally in the frame instead of being announced. This is the space where Tanya Aggarwal works. She is a Delhi-based digital creator working across lifestyle, t

A Band Built for the Room Some bands introduce themselves with a genre. Seasons introduce themselves with a range. One band, many sounds is how they describe themselves on Instagram, followed by the idea that every season has its song. It reads like a tagline, but it also works as a brief for anyone wondering what this Mumbai band might bring to a stage. That is the question this feature sets out to answer, for organisers and brands as much as for listeners. What does Seasons

A digital creator today is not simply someone who posts on social media. Creators build recognizable content worlds around their interests, experiences, personalities and ways of communicating. For brands, that creates an opportunity that traditional advertising often cannot replicate: placing a product or message inside content that already has a context, a voice and an established relationship with its audience. That is why choosing a creator for a brand campaign should go

INTRODUCTION Talent no longer means only film stars and chart-toppers. A stand-up comedian with a touring show, a producer who shapes the sound of a record, or a parenting creator who speaks to one very specific audience can move a campaign as effectively as a familiar celebrity face. What matters is fit: the right voice, in the right format, for the right crowd. That shift has changed how brands and event teams approach talent booking. They are looking past name recognition

India's dance culture has never been limited to one style, one city or one kind of performer. From classical traditions and contemporary choreography to hip-hop crews, solo performers and group acts, the country's talent pool is vast. The challenge has often been finding platforms that bring different kinds of dancers into the same competitive and performance ecosystem. RDX Dance Championship is one such platform. Positioned around “Rhythm, Dance & Xpression,” RDX combines au

There is a particular skill in making a familiar song feel new again. For DJ NYK — Nikhil Sahni — that idea has been central to his work for more than two decades. His career has moved between DJing, music production, Bollywood remixes, radio, visual performance, education and independent music, but the thread connecting it all has remained the same: finding new ways to make people experience music. What began with music-making and DJing eventually developed into one of the

When a song reaches a listener, the artist's voice and performance are usually the first things they notice. Behind that finished recording, however, is another layer of creative work: production, arrangement, sound design, mixing and mastering. These are the stages that help turn an idea, performance or recording session into something ready to be heard by an audience. Northsinc is one of the names working within that side of India's independent music ecosystem. While artist

A new generation of Indian musicians is finding ways to carry traditional musical foundations into contemporary spaces. Vidyanshi Rajwadha is one of the emerging voices exploring that intersection. For listeners discovering her through “Barse,” her collaboration with Emcee Agranshu, the release offers an introduction to a vocalist whose public artistic profile connects Indian classical vocals with contemporary musical influences. But Barse is only the beginning of the story.

Music often becomes interesting when different artistic voices meet. “Barse,” a 2026 release by Emcee Agranshu and Vidyanshi Rajwadha, brings two distinct performers together on the same track, creating a collaboration that places both artists at the centre of the release. Released in August 2026, Barse is officially credited to Emcee Agranshu and Vidyanshi Rajwadha across major music platforms. An Extended Mix of the track is also available, giving listeners another version

Few screen careers begin with a human-resources degree. Vibhoutee Sharma 's did. Before she appeared in Tiger Zinda Hai, the Yash Raj action film starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, she had completed an MBA in Pune, won a pageant title there and started appearing in television commercials. What followed was not a straight climb from one format to the next. Her documented work moves sideways as often as upward: web series, studio films, a horror drama in which she plays t

In a screen industry where an actor is often introduced through numbers, Ishaan Sharma offers a different starting point the work itself. Mumbai-based and trained in theatre, Ishaan has been developing his acting craft through stage performance before moving further into television and feature-film work. His approach is rooted in performance — emotional depth, physical presence and the ability to inhabit a character rather than simply appear in a frame. His screen journey i

Joel Dsouza builds his comedy around small, awkward, everyday moments — losing a hall ticket before an exam, strange family gifts, a mind that never switches off. Based in Mumbai, he first reached a national audience on Comicstaan Season 2, and has since built a body of work spanning live comedy, YouTube specials, TV writing, and even competitive online chess. Joel Dsouza — At a Glance Joel is a Mumbai-based stand-up comedian, writer, and performer, active since 2019. He appe

A stranger house, a bigger cast, and Salman Khan back at the helm — here's everything you need to know about the biggest reality show event of 2026. If you have never watched Bigg Boss before, here is the simplest way to explain it: a group of well-known people move into one house together. They have no phones, no mirrors for vanity, and no privacy — every moment is filmed. Each week, the public votes someone out. It is India's version of Big Brother, and it has been running

There is a particular challenge that comes with developing a recognisable sound: eventually, the thing that made you stand out can become the thing people expect you to repeat. For Raga, that expectation has been built around a voice and identity deeply connected to Delhi — raspy delivery, hard-edged rap, street vocabulary, aggression, ambition and the language of Jamnapaar. His new mixtape, NO FORMULA, asks what happens when that expectation is removed. Released on 11 Septem

Raga's first full-length project since his 2019 debut album Rap Ka Mausam is finally here — and it doesn't sound like a man easing back in. No Formula runs 21 tracks deep, pulls in more than two dozen collaborators, and treats its own runtime like an open floor rather than a tightly controlled comeback statement. That's the first thing worth understanding about this project. Raga could have released five songs and called it a return. Instead, he built something closer to a ro

Banti Banerjee is a stand-up comedian and live performer who has built a growing presence across India's comedy and digital entertainment space. Known for bringing everyday experiences, relationships, family life and personal observations into her comedy, Banti has developed a style that connects naturally with audiences. Her profile reached a wider audience after her appearance on India's Got Latent, where she was declared one of the winners of Episode 10. Since then, her wo

Sunitha Komarshetty is a Pune-based content creator known for lifestyle, parenting and everyday wellness content on Instagram. With a growing community that follows her for relatable, real-life storytelling, she has built a creator profile that resonates with audiences looking for authentic, family-oriented content. This profile looks at who Sunitha Komarshetty is, what she creates, where her audience is active, and why brands and agencies are increasingly exploring creators

There is a version of Indian hip-hop that is easy to recognise. There are the familiar flows, the familiar production, the familiar visual language. And then there are artists who seem less interested in fitting into an existing lane than in building one around themselves. CheerFaad belongs to the latter category. Born out of Delhi's Jamnapaar and shaped by both Indian hip-hop and the heavier sounds of global alternative music, CheerFaad has spent the better part of the last
