IMDb revealed the Top 10 Most Popular Indian Stars of 2023, determined on the basis of the actual page views of more than 200 million monthly visitors to IMDb worldwide. Shah Rukh Khan, who appeared in two blockbusters this year ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, generating worldwide fan interest has topped the list.
Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone have secured the second and third positions, respectively. Alia ranked No. 2 for the second year in a row, starring in two big releases in 2023, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ and ‘Heart of Stone’. She also made her Met Gala debut earlier this year, while her 2022 film ‘RRR’ bagged an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song.
Thanking her fans, Alia Bhatt said, ‘IMDb is the true representation of the audiences’ choices. I’ve always believed that they are the real kings and queens, and nothing is beyond them. 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.’
Last year’s list was topped by Dhanush. The 2022 list was dominated by stars from the South, with Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Allu Arjun and Yash finding spots alongside Dhanush. This year’s list signals a return to form for Bollywood.
