Contestant No. Four: Shabana Azmi

Shabana circa 1974
With at least 118 movies to her credit since 1974, you would this this star of both Bollywood and New Indian Cinema wouldn't need much else to separate her from the crowd. It is, apparently, quite rare to conquor the art world of New Indian Cinema and the commerical world of Bollywood. But oh no, she didn't stop there. Now a member of Indian Parliament, she works fighting for the rights of minorities, slum-dwellers, and women. In addition, she has written and directed a movie which is now in pre-production.
