Sometimes it seems as though the whole world is flocking to Bollywood in the hopes of making it big - in the same way as La became the destination for a thousand young hopefuls every day in the 1920s, Mumbai has become a similar magnet for hopes and dreams nearly a century later. Three who perhaps have a better chance than most have been doing the circuits of producers and directors recently looking for a future. The first is Chilean Jennifer Mayani. Of Sindhi heritage, Jennifer says, “I came to Mumbai in search of a husband. It’s a family tradition. My parents did it, my grandparents and probably generations before that.” Instead, she stayed, became part of the clubbing scene with artists such as Hard Kaur, and now has 14 movie appearances to her credit, including Heyy Babyy.
