Shikha Tandon

Shikha Tandon
Often called a 'pool of talent', ace swimmer Shikha Tandon is known as much for her naturally attractive looks as her achievements in swimming.

Remembered most for being the only Indian swimmer at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, she's now looking forward to surprise everyone with her performance at the Commonwealth games. Her biggest strength as a swimmer is her versatility, that's been responsible for her winning many national titles. She, at 25 years of age, already holds records unlikely to be matched soon by any other Indian woman swimmer.

Though a true-blue Punjabi, she also loves being a city-slicker Bangalorean.

She works hard on her sport but like most girls her age, doesn't shy away from letting her hair down on the weekends.
