Zoya Akhtar: Famed lyricist Javed Akhtar’s wickedly talented daughter, Zoya Akhtar takes after her brother Farhan Akhtar in the wit and cool quotient department. Zoya has made slice-of-life films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and the short in Bombay Talkies, along with the insider take on the film industry – Luck By Chance. She has also co-written Talaash, with her business partner Reema Kagti. Zoya’s sensibilities are very urbane and modern, and it’s wonderful to see a female director enter the mainstream, and emerge trumps, a la Zoya.
