Unveiling the Icons: Top 10 Most Popular and Inspiring Indians on Instagram, Featuring PM Modi, Virat Kohli & Shraddha Kapoor
The list of the ten most popular Indians on Instagram features prominent figures such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Virat Kohli, and Priyanka Chopra. A significant shake-up recently occurred when Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor surpassed PM Modi in follower numbers, propelling her to the third spot on the Meta-owned platform. Kapoor’s rise in social media prominence coincides with the success of her latest film, “Stree-2,” which has been lauded by critics and is performing exceptionally well at the box office.
Shraddha Kapoor now boasts 91.4 million Instagram followers, edging out PM Modi, who has 91.3 million followers. Despite this, PM Modi remains the most-followed global leader on X, previously known as Twitter, holding an extensive follower base that eclipses those of US President Joe Biden, Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed, and Pope Francis. As of August 21, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has around 56.6 million followers on X.
In terms of sheer numbers, cricketer Virat Kohli leads the Instagram popularity list with 271 million followers, followed by actress Priyanka Chopra with 91.81 million followers. PM Modi’s formidable social media presence continues to be notable, particularly on X.
“Stree-2,” directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Maddock Films, was released in theaters on August 15. The sequel to 2018’s “Stree,” starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, is nearing a ₹300 crore global collection mark. The film has received widespread acclaim for its strong storyline, stellar performances by the cast, and engaging content. “Stree-2” features music by Sachin-Jigar and is part of producer Dinesh Vijan’s ambitious horror-comedy universe, which includes other popular titles like “Bhediya” and “Munja.”
In summary, Shraddha Kapoor’s ascent on Instagram reflects her growing popularity, aided by the commercial and critical success of “Stree-2,” while Virat Kohli and Priyanka Chopra continue to dominate the platform’s follower rankings.
