Nayanthara Instagram – The Hollywood Reporter India’s inaugural Women in Entertainment Power List celebrates some of the industry’s most influential women who have reshaped the country’s creative landscape, driving change one step at a time.
Our March cover features five women from the power list — Zoya Akhtar (@zoieakhtar), Alia Bhatt (@aliaabhatt), Nayanthara (@nayanthara) and sister duo Swapna C. Dutt (@swapnaduttchalasani) , and Priyanka C. Dutt (@priyankacdutt). They reflect on early struggles, the weight of perception, and the art of setting boundaries. From the white lies they tell to keep the wheels turning to the truths that anchor them, their stories weave a portrait of careers shaped by instinct and intent. They also speak of lifting others — through stories, opportunities, and the space to step forward on their own terms.
