The description further reads, "Going on to act in a further 19 films [three of which have not yet been released], Anushka Sharma also holds social causes dear to heart, appearing in a right to education advert released by the Indian government."

Indian badminton star PV Sindhu also features on the list. Pakistani singer Momina Mustehsan, who shot to fame with the Coke Studio version of "Afreen afreen", which she sang with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for, too finds a mention.
