Hey there, Bollywood fans! IMDb has just released its list of the year’s most popular Indian stars, and guess who snagged the number one spot? None other than the one and only Shah Rukh Khan. I mean, is anyone really surprised? The man is a living legend.
If you’re wondering how IMDb determines these rankings, it’s all based on page views worldwide. So, basically, the more times people click on a star’s page, the higher they climb on the list.
Now, let’s talk about Shah Rukh Khan’s epic year. The dude led not one, but two major blockbusters – “Jawan” and “Pathaan”. And get this, they are respectively the No. 2 and 3 biggest Hindi movies ever worldwide. I mean, seriously, who else is doing it like SRK?
But Khan isn’t the only one making waves in the Indian film industry. Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone also made it into the top ranks. Bhatt, who has “RRR” listed on her resume, starred in Netflix’s “Heart of Stone” alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan. She also graced the screen in Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”. That’s quite the lineup!
And what did Bhatt have to say about her newfound popularity? She said, “I thank my audience for bringing me to the position that I am at. While I hope to continue entertaining them, I am filled with only love and gratitude. I also promise to keep working hard and bringing more inspiring stories and characters on screen.” Aww, how sweet.
As for Deepika Padukone, she was Khan’s leading lady in both “Jawan” and “Pathaan”. Talk about a power duo! But that’s not all – she’s got Siddharth Anand’s “Fighter” and Rohit Shetty’s “Singham Again” on the horizon. Girl is on fire!
Coming in at No. 4 on the list is Wamiqa Gabbi, who starred in “Khufiya”, “Jubilee”, “Kali Jotta”, and “Modern Love Chennai”. She said, “This is my debut on the IMDb Most Popular Indian Stars list, and I am delighted! The fact that IMDb represents the sentiment of the global audience makes this even more special for me… I’ve had a busy year working across genres and languages, and it makes me happy and grateful that my fans have appreciated that. I look forward to working with the same dedication on my upcoming projects and returning the love showered upon me.” You go, Wamiqa!
