The Icon
Smriti Irani
From a successful TV actor to a powerful politician, Smriti Irani wears many hats. Whether it was being a rebel during her teenage years or becoming a voice of feminism in India—from Tulsi to Amethi—she is a changemaker with gravitas at We The Women, London.
Karan Johar
The most creative force in Bollywood—a director, entrepreneur, and cultural icon—not only has launched several superstars and produced films we all love, but he is also a conversationalist’s delight. Candid, irreverent, and eclectic, Karan Johar commands every room he enters.
He constantly shuns stereotypes and uses his platform to have honest conversations about masculinity.
Rashmika Mandanna
From Hyderabad to Mumbai and all over India, Rashmika Mandanna is a household name. Her acting accolades are just as widely discussed as her candid opinions.Bridging the gap between North and South—from Pushpa to Sikandar—she is carving an indelible path in the Indian film industry, making her one of our We The Women changemakers.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
From Poo to powerhouse, Kareena Kapoor Khan is a blend of boldness and brilliance. Effortlessly elegant with a quiet, queenly charm, she commands every room she enters. Fierce, fearless, and flawlessly herself, Kareena breaks boundaries and sets the bar.
