Shraddha Kapoor has overtaken Prime Minister Narendra Modi to become the most-followed Indian actress on Instagram. As of Wednesday, Kapoor boasts 91.4 million followers, surpassing Modi’s 91.3 million. This surge in her follower count comes hot on the heels of the blockbuster success of her latest film, Stree 2, which has raked in over Rs 322 crore since its release on August 15.
Kapoor’s recent achievement places her in the spotlight not just for her acting prowess but also for her growing influence on social media. She now stands as the third most-followed Indian on Instagram, trailing behind cricket legend Virat Kohli with a commanding 271 million followers and global icon Priyanka Chopra, who has 91.8 million followers.
In contrast, Prime Minister Modi continues to lead in the realm of X (formerly Twitter), where he holds a substantial following of 101.2 million compared to Kapoor’s 14.2 million. Despite this, Kapoor’s social media achievement highlights a growing trend of celebrities expanding their influence across platforms.
Globally, Kapoor’s position on Instagram is notable, with international figures like Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian dominating the top spots. However, her ascent to the third spot among Indian Instagram users is a testament to her rising stardom and the success of her latest cinematic venture.
Looking ahead, Kapoor is set to continue her streak with her forthcoming role in Vishal Furia’s Naagin, further establishing her presence in the Indian film industry and on social media platforms.
