1) Akshay Kakkar - Has shattered all the popularity records in this segment. His social media following is north of 5 million including Tik Tok, MX Takatak, YouTube and Instagram. One can hardly deny the entertainment quotient that comes with his profile. His dance videos, facial expressions and digital content have made him to whooping success.

Grew up in East Delhi, Akshay is a classic example of a homegrown internet star catapulting to fame owing to his unique talent.

2) Kais Sundrani - Touted as the pioneer of plus size modelling in India. He was first rejected whilst auditioning for a college fashion show. Apparently he was 'too big' to be walking the ramp. Well, Kais decided that he wasn't going to back down after this episode in his life. He took matters in his own hands and walked the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week as India's first plus size model. Standing tall at 6 feet 3 inches, Kais surely has a 'towering' personality too. Kias is based in Mumbai and is actively involved with his family's catering business when he isn't modelling.
