Being a successful actor or actress isn’t just about box office numbers, as social media plays a big role too. When it comes to Instagram, it’s Bollywood actresses who reign supreme as compared to Bollywood actors. So much so that 3 of them are in the Top 50 list of most-followed Instagram accounts.
Here are the 3 Bollywood actresses in the Top 50 most-followed Instagram accounts:
Priyanka Chopra, Shraddha Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt are reportedly the only 3 Bollywood actresses to make it to the top 50 list of most-followed Instagram accounts, as of September 18, 2023. PeeCee, the global multi-hyphenate, is at No. 41 with 89.3 million followers on IG. Besides promoting her projects, the Citadel star also gives fans an inside look at her happy family life with her husband and Jonas Brothers member Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie.
Following close behind at No. 46 is Shraddha Kapoor who has 82.9 million followers on Instagram. Besides promoting her movies, the Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar star also treats IG as a sort of fashion portfolio, giving fans constant style inspiration.
At No. 50 is recent National Film Award recipient Alia Bhatt with 79.7 million followers on Instagram. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star’s IG is where fans can stay up-to-date with Alia's current and upcoming movies.
