<span class=normal>Zoya Akhtar<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Coming from a filmy family, films were a natural progression for Zoya Akhtar (daughter of veteran lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar). So it came as no surprise that the young and talented girl decided to make films her vocation. She had been nursing dreams of turning director since the age of 18 and her role-models include a diverse range of filmmakers from Mani Ratnam to Martin Scorcese and from Satyajit Ray to Farah Khan. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Zoya made an impressive debut with Luck By Chance this year. The film gave an inside view of the happenings in the film industry and Zoyas debut venture was praised by one and all. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>She however doesnt believe in the concept of celebrating Womens Day? Do you celebrate Mens day? she snaps back, when we asked her views on Womens Day. What difference does it make if I am a female director? For me all that matters is whether I am a good director or a bad one. Indeed, if her debut flick is any indication of things to come, Zoya Akhtar certainly is one lady to watch out for in the future.</span>
