Facebook is the biggest social platform in the world and celebrities who receive the highest number of ‘likes’ are also arguably the most popular stars on the internet – and we say internet only because India lags way behind when it comes to penetration of the internet in smaller towns and villages.
The most followed Indian is Prime Minister Narendra Modi with more than 32 million followers on Facebook. The PM is closely followed by Deepika Padukone, who has just crossed the 31 million mark. Deepika happens to be the biggest and most popular female star in the country today.
The second position is occupied by Salman Khan, who recently crossed the 30 million ‘likes’ mark. Salman is widely considered to be the numero uno star in the industry today, an actor who has delivered an unprecedented 7 blockbusters in the last 6 years.
Yo Yo Honey Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Amitabh Bachchan are in the Top 5.

To be honest..I really like deepika padukone.
She is my first crush and has been crush from om shanti om
Simply love her
It’s No Matter Where is ‘SRK’ But Salman Always Second :p
FAKE LIKES !!
Legend Devgan on 25th with only 39 lakh fans . Even arjun nd ranveer are ahead then our 25 Year working actor. This is his level .
With! Why is Srk following list so low? Did he join it late or what?!
AKSHAY KUMAR ahead then srk,Hrithik nd Amir ? I like it nd it’s true.
Srk only hve big fan following in metro cities while akshay commands huge fan following in small cities ,way bigger then srk amir . Nd 70% population belongs to small cities nd towns in india .
@Aisha happy holi with this post ?? Ajay is Megastar. His level ??
The moment u realise sunny leone has more likes than amir khan.
Facebook sucks there are many fake accounts on it. I think popularity should be judged from Twitter.
Doesn’t SRK have 3.6 billion fans in the world? Highest following overseas? Why no one LIKES his Facebook page?
April belongs to The Jungle Book and Baaghi
HUGE! MORE THAN A WHALE DIFFERENCE between SALMAN and other khans. salman is truly the heart of common people.
Kudos to Team #Indicine ?
This line is EPIC – ‘Facebook is the biggest social platform in the world’…. No one is interested in knowing how much followers one has on Twitter coz over 80-80% population (all over the world) uses FB and another reason is most of the people’s from villages, towns don’t have interest in Twitter as it is way more complicated and difficult to handle and FB is way more simple….Facebook and WhatsApp this are the two needs which every person in the world follow regularly!!!!
srk world biggest megastar…love u srk
Akshay kumar roxxx.x….!… Way ahead of srk …!!…
But don’t understand what these flop 2nd fiddle of crap movie Ki n Ka flop arjunK is doing in this list…??… So he has made bots to lyk his page…
Great actors behind then kapil,ranveer, arjun non sense ..what happen to public taste ??
.ajay ,Nana, manoj bajpaye are far better then these .
Salman fans were really waiting for this one after the Twitter followers update :)
only MEGASTAR SALMAN RULES
Facebook is the biggest platform.Rightly said indicine.
On twitter, the difference between any 2 khan is in lakhs whereas on facebook the difference between salman and the other 2 khans is in crores.
Enough said.
Hail the megastar @beingsalmankhan
Where is srk?? Lol
so it means people like honey singh,kapil sharma, shreya ghoshal,kajal aggarwal are more popular than SRK…
come on indicine u also know FB likes doesn’t prove who is more popular.
BTW u didnt add riteish deshmukh. he has 8 million+ likes on his page
@indicine.I think this article is missing Jacqueline Fernandez she has 16 17 million followers. Please check. I know this is a fan article. Just wanted to confirm
oh plz corrent your list @indicine Jacqueline fernandez has 18,740,165 fans and she should be at 12th … hope you will acept your mistake :D
@indicine.I know that this is a fan article.but I think this article is missing Jacqueline Fernandez she has 16 17 million followers.
@Neeraj But when will the Greek God who gets offers from so many Hollywood producers cross 15 million barrier in overseas market.
where is sachin???
Akshay Kumar 18,631,118 likes
Ranveer Singh 4,972,377 likes
Ranveer sing only 1/4 like of Akshay… but his box office collection better than Akki… Akki is not able collect 140 cr… but youngsters was easly achieved that position.. shame for Akki..
( Dedicated to Sunny makkhi logic )
#Fasal kerala
That is why even a jai ho has more footfalls than cdi, khnh, veerzara ,jthj ,mhn ,don ,fana ,sarfarosh ,rdb ,tzp ,ghulam among others .I am hoping and have full confidence that Sultan will crush Raees .
Fb is the biggest social platform but it’s basically meant for chatting and showing off your colourful life.I don’t even know how many unwanted pages I would have liked unwittingly.
Whereas on twitter many users genuinely follow their idols and also keep a track on the number of people whom they follow.You won’t see profile pictures of Srk salman or virat on Facebook too often.
Akshay only hve big fan following in small cities ( mostly mass center audience )
while Youngsters like Varun commands huge fan following
in small cities ,way bigger then Akshay & Ajay . Nd
60% box office collection belongs to metro cities nd
towns in india…
#Fasal kerala
This list is a evidence that Popularity and followers of a star are not parallel.
@indicine one more mistake urvashi rautela has 5,459,926 fans she should be at 24th and plz check your list i am sure there are some more people who are missing in your list jacqueline and urvashi are my personal fav so i checked them
