Agree with most of the names cited.
The first name that came to my mind was Gayatri Joshi (from Swades). Really liked her. One wouldn't guess that Swades was only her first movie. She could have been one of the top actresses today, esp given that some of the "actresses" reigning at the moment are so pathetic.
I also really really want to see more of Konkona Sen Sharma! She had better not disappear just because she's married. She's absolutely brilliant! I think she can do any role - comedy (Atithi kab jaoge, Life in a Metro), drama (15 Park Avenue), romance (Wake up Sid). Although her career has been pretty good, I think she deserves way more.
Oh, and Ayesha Takia! Loved her in Dor!
I thought of Gayatri Joshi too...but then she chose to get married over a BW career so ruled her out. And yes Ayesha Takia...really good choice!
