10 Gen Z Actors To Watch Out For!

They’ve
got
talent.
They’ve
got
determination.
They’re
here
to
stay.

There’s
been
a
steady
rise
of
Gen
Z
actors
trying
their
luck
in
showbiz.
And
what
makes
their
breakout
an
even
bigger
deal
is
they
made
it
without
a
famous
surname.

On
that
note,
a
list
of
10
rising
outsiders
from
whom
wonders
can
be
expected
in
the
years
to
come.

Vedang
Raina

One
glimpse
of
his
suave
face
and
sparkling
performance
in
Zoya
Akhtar’s
candy
coloured
comic
book
adaptation
of



The
Archies
littered
with
star
children,
was
enough
to
place
our
bets
on
this
new
kid
on
the
block.

After
standing
out
in
a
crowd
as
the

desi
Reggie
Mantle,
Vedang
is
ready
to
prove
his
mettle
next
to
Alia
Bhatt
in
Vasan
Bala’s
highly
anticipated

Jigra.

Nitanshi
Goel

From
small
screen
to
big,
teenage
sensation
Nitanshi’s
journey
to
success
may
have
begun
early.
But
it’s,
certainly,
well
deserved.

As
the
wide-eyed
Phool
Kumari
of

Laapataa
Ladies,
she
exudes
the
kind
of
good
faith
that
cannot
be
feigned
and
evolves
into
something
special.

Abhay
Verma

Fresh
faced
Abhay
Verma
is
only
starting
out.
But
in
a
short
span,
he
has
already
played
a
transgender
(Safed),
a
terrorist
(The
Family
Man
2),
a
revolutionary
(Aye
Watan
Mere
Watan)
and
a
boy
fighting
an
ancestral
monster
(Munjya).

Except
it’s
not
just
the
range
of
characters
but
also
his
ability
to
leave
a
unique
mark
in
every
single
one
of
them
that
makes
him
an
actor
to
watch
out
for.

Pratibha
Ranta

Whether
she’s
sounding
wise
beyond
her
ears
as
the
spirited
Jaya
in

Laapataa
Ladies
or
eager
to
bite
more
than
she
can
chew
as
the
brash
Shama
in

Heeramandi,
this
Shimla
beauty
is
quite
the
clutter
breaker
in
an
industry
full
of
plastic
glamour
and
hollow
talent.

Medha
Shankr

Vikrant
Massey
isn’t
the
only
beneficiary
of

12th
Fail‘s
underdog
success.
As
his
leading
lady,
Medha
makes
an
equally
significant
impression
with
her
compelling
portrayal
of
an
aspiring
bureaucrat.

All
she
needs
to
do
is
continue
the
path
of
sensible
over
superficial
and
Medha
could
well
be
on
her
way
to
become
the
next
best
thing.

Sparsh
Srivastav

Whether
he’s
playing
the
endearing
husband
or
good
Samaritan
to
a
pair
of
swapped
ladies
in
the
heartland
of
India
for
Kiran
Rao’s


sophomore
gem
or
displaying
patriotic
fervour
of
the
disabled
in
the
fight
for
freedom
in
a


period
drama,
Sparsh’s
blazing
talent
makes
him
a
talking
point
even
in
supporting
parts.

Bodhisattva
Sharma

All
India
Rank‘s
coming-of-age
realisations
concerning
youthful
lives
against
the
backdrop
of
cut-throat
career
pursuits
wouldn’t
be
so
authentic
in
its
expression
if
not
for
Bodhisattva’s
nerdy
charms
and
plausible
missteps.

Bollywood
needs
more
of
this
unpretentious
ilk.

Rohit
Saraf

From
Alia
Bhatt’s
sibling
in

Dear
Zindagi
to
Priyanka
Chopra’s
son
in

The
Sky
is
Pink,
Rohit’s
steady
growth
from
supporting
roles
to
central
characters
on
OTT’s
Mismatched
makes
a
strong
case
for
his
breezy,
boyish
charisma
to
the
hilt.

Will

Ishq
Vishq
Rebound
prove
to
be
his
ticket
to
Bollywood?
Wait
and
watch.

Anushka
Sen

Everyone’s
talking
about



Dil
Dosti
Dilemma‘s
Asmara
and
her
hoity
toity
city
snob
transforming
into
a
suburban
activist
with
a
heart
of
gold
thanks
to
Anushka’s
bubbly
stamina
and
easy
going
adorability.

In
a
sea
of
over
groomed
clones,
Anushka’s
gleaming
mix
of
sass
and
wit
arrives
like
a
breath
of
fresh
air.

Sanjeeta
Bhattacharya

Berklee
graduate,
singer,
songwriter,
model,
actor,
Sanjeeta
wears
many,
many
hats
with
surprising
ease.

But
it’s
her
complete
lack
of
inhibitions
as
a
bisexual
young
woman
attracted
to
her
co-worker
in
an
advertising
company
in

Feels
Like
Ishq
as
well
as
a
badass
ally
of
an
all-girls
squad
flanking
Shah
Rukh
Khan’s
vigilante
in

Jawan
that
wants
us
to
see
more
of
this


fiery
force.
