After reading the NYTimes story on MTV Desi from last week, Anil Dash has come to a conclusion that soon the most famous US-born desi will be VJ Niharika Desai.

It’s not Deepak Chopra, because I don’t think he was born in the U.S., and I was told Norah Jones doesn’t entirely count, since she’s half Indian. My guess was that maybe it’s Tony Kanal from No Doubt, but apparently he was born in the U.K. Maybe by this time next year it’ll be Niharika Desai.
