A designer, actor, musician, content creator and chef, explain what it means to be popular and recognised today

The newcomer Ayesha Kanga

In the world of show business, Ayesha Kanga, 27, is practically brand-new. She debuted with Netflix’s Class in February. And already, there are 104K followers and verification on Instagram to show for it. She’s recognised on the streets – on a recent trip to Jaipur, she was stopped at least 10 times by fans seeking a selfie.

Ayesha Kanga, Taba Chake, Sejal Kumar, Anahita Dhondy Bhandari and Suket Dhir talk about fame, how it affects them and what it means in today’s world.
