Verve ushers in 2017 with a celebration of emerging talent – the men and women who have made a mark in their chosen domains.   Gracing the cover is Bollywood debutante DishaPatani, who made heads turn in her cameo role as Dhoni’s first girlfriend in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, the Dhoni biopic. With a number of Telugu films under her belt, she will be hitting international screens soon in Jackie Chan’s latest release, Kung Fu Yoga.   In our annual Fresh List 2017 we roundup the rising stars to keep an eye out for a pastry chef, entrepreneurs to athletes, as well as actors, musicians and artists. Follow their struggles and successes through in-depth interviews, where they reveal the inner drive that keeps them going.   Verve features the storytellers of the year, who’ve captivated us with their tales, kept us at the edge of our seats and won acclaim along the way.
