The Instagram Hierarchy: Kapoor Among the Top 3 Indians
Kapoor’s ascent on Instagram places her among the top three most-followed Indians on the platform. Virat Kohli leads the pack with an impressive 271 million followers, followed by Priyanka Chopra, who has 91.8 million followers. Shraddha Kapoor’s closest competitors include Alia Bhatt with 85.1 million followers and Deepika Padukone with 79.8 million followers. These numbers reflect not only their star power but also their ability to engage and connect with a vast audience.
PM Modi’s Social Media Dominance Beyond Instagram
While Shraddha Kapoor may have surpassed PM Modi on Instagram, the Prime Minister continues to hold a commanding presence on other social media platforms. On X (formerly Twitter), Modi remains the most-followed global leader, boasting over 101.2 million followers. His popularity on X far exceeds that of other world leaders, such as U.S. President Joe Biden (38.5 million), Pope Francis (18.5 million), and Dubai’s HH Sheikh Mohammed (11.2 million). In comparison, even global celebrities like Taylor Swift (95.2 million) and Donald Trump (89.7 million) trail behind Modi on this platform.
“Stree 2” Continues to Break Box Office Records
Shraddha Kapoor’s recent success isn’t limited to social media. Her latest film, “Stree 2,” where she stars alongside Rajkummar Rao, has been a massive hit at the box office. The film has already earned over โน300 crore globally in less than a week since its release, making it one of the year’s biggest successes. Directed by Amar Kaushik, “Stree 2” is the sequel to the 2018 hit “Stree” and has managed to hold its own despite competition from other major releases like Akshay Kumar’s “Khel Khel Mein” and John Abraham’s “Vedaa.” The film, made on a modest budget of โน50 crore, also features cameos by actors Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan.
Shraddha Kapoor’s Personal Life in the Spotlight
In addition to her professional achievements, Shraddha Kapoor has also made headlines for her personal life. A few months ago, the “Saaho” actress confirmed her relationship with Rahul Mody, a writer and assistant director known for his work on films like “Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2” (2015), “Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety” (2018), and “Pyaar Ka Punchnama” (2011). The couple’s relationship has been the subject of much media attention, adding another dimension to Shraddha’s public persona.
