Shraddha Kapoor has overtaken Priyanka Chopra to become the second-most followed Indian celebrity on Instagram, a feat that underscores her growing influence and popularity in the digital world. The actress, who recently starred in the hit film Stree 2, has seen her follower count skyrocket to an impressive 92.7 million, surpassing Priyanka’s 91.9 million followers.
Shraddha’s social media presence has always been strong, but it received a significant boost following the release of Stree 2, which has been a massive success globally. The horror-comedy, directed by Amar Kaushik and also starring Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana, has grossed over ₹500 crore in India alone. The film, which is a sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, continues to dominate the box office, with fans and critics alike praising its unique blend of humor and horror.
This milestone is particularly notable as Shraddha also surpassed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has 91.3 million followers on Instagram. Virat Kohli remains the most followed Indian celebrity on the platform, boasting a staggering 270 million followers. Following Shraddha and Priyanka in the film industry are Alia Bhatt with 85.2 million followers and Deepika Padukone with 79.9 million.
Shraddha’s rise on Instagram is a testament to her growing popularity and the strong connection she has with her fans. Her role in Stree 2 has further cemented her status as one of Bollywood’s leading actresses, and her digital presence continues to reflect her success in the industry.
Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra remains a global icon with several exciting projects in the pipeline. She will be seen in The Bluff, where she plays a former female pirate in a 19th-century Caribbean setting, directed by Frank E Flowers. Priyanka is also set to star alongside John Cena, Idris Elba, and Jack Quaid in the action-comedy Heads of State, directed by Ilya Naishuller. As both actresses continue to shine on and off the screen, their success stories are a reminder of the evolving dynamics in Bollywood and the power of social media in shaping modern celebrity culture.
