They’re fresh as the morning and bursting with the promise of things untold. Vogue meets Bollywood’s young blood - Ayushmann Khurrana, Parineeti Chopra, Sushant Singh Rajput, Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor - the new crop of actors who’ve made everyone sit up and take notice.

Photographed by Suresh Natarajan and Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, Vogue India presents pithy portraits of the faces of the future in their November issue.

These budding stars charted their journeys to the starry, starry world differently: some crossed over from the stage, others from television, and a few are following on from successful careers as models. But there’s something that ties Bollywood’s under-30 marquee actors together - the fact that they’re keen to go beyond that first, heady round of applause.
