Shah Rukh Khan crosses 17 million followers, 2nd most followed Indian

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has crossed the 17 million followers mark on popular social media website Twitter. Khan is the 2nd most followed Indian on Twitter, behind the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

At the beginning of the year, Aamir Khan came within touching distance of Shah Rukh. The difference in the number of followers between the two was less than 2 lakhs, but the gap has now widened quite considerably both because Aamir isn’t very active on Twitter and the fact that he didn’t have any movie release in 2015.

Shah Rukh has also narrowed the gap between him and Amitabh Bachchan.

Exactly a year ago, Amitabh Bachchan had 12.4 million followers, SRK had 10.6 million, Aamir was at 10.4 million, Salman was at 9.9 million and PM Modi in the 5th position with 9.5 million followers.

A lot has changed in one year and it’ll be interesting to see which Indian will be the first to cross 20 million and 25 million milestones in the coming year.

Check out Top 5 most followed Indians on Twitter

  • Amitabh Bachchan – 18,580,063 followers
  • Shah Rukh Khan – 17,018,739 followers (-1,561,324 fewer than Amitabh Bachchan)
  • Narendra Modi – 17,001,516 followers (-17,223 fewer than SRK)
  • Aamir Khan – 15,891,711 followers (-1,109,805 fewer than PM Modi)
  • Salman Khan – 15,458,131 followers (-433,580 fewer than Aamir)

  • I always wonder how come Amitabh Bachchan is the most followed celeb on Twitter when most of his tweets fail to get even 1000RTs when random tweets of other celebrities like Srk and Salman manage to garner huge no. of favorites and Retweet

  • Why Bhai fans are so jealous of his popularity??
    We all know getting random likes on any Facebook page isn’t a big deal.Most Facebook users don’t even know how many useless pages they have liked whereas the case is entirely different when it comes to Twitter where we follow somebody only when we genuinely want to read somebody’s tweet.Most Twitter users prefer to follow lesser people than the number of followers they have:)

  • Even when his movie isn’t liked by audience + clash + intolerence comment, SRK will still cross 300 cr worldwide and Dilwale already crossed PRDP overseas collection. We srkians are just waiting for a good content movie to make it the highest grosser of all times… Just wait and watch how Fan and Raees will become cult classics and box-office top earners !

  • Twitter is the best than FB & FB he is not handle like Twitter. Try 2 underatand the fact. Its enough only Twitter is the KING of Social Media

  • AFTER SHAHENSHAH,BADSHAH RULES BOLLYWOOD+TWITTER.

    SOON BADSHAH will overtake Shahenshah and narendra modi will lose his almost followers after 5 years if he’ll lost the next election.

    @sallu fans,

    salman has 20+million fake followers fans in fb.

    Why the hell even 17+ million of that followers are not following your so called remake star?????

    Everybody knew durinh before election,rahul Gandhi bought fake followers from fb by paying some crores.similar with the case of salman,Deepika like stars.

    @anand_the original takla,that means you’re accepting lallu is smaller star than Deepika in fb,KING KHAN in twitter,amir khan in box office?????

    Your lallu is the biggest loser.having flops(42)>>>>>>>success(22).having failurea twice than success.

    Not only that your lallu is the only recordless star in Bollywood.

    Where is takla lallu?????oh hiding behind shera?????,ROFL.

    And WHO IS INDIA’S BIGGEST NO.1 RICHEST ACTOR—-KING KHAN.

    your lallu is always in 3rd or below 3rd position at everywhere.who the hell are you vane here against KING OF BOLLYWOOD?????

    IF KING KHAN will wish then can buy your takla lallu at a moment,got that?remain in your real aukat you taklutards.

    And everybody knows KING KHAN don’t uses Facebook .and HIS account also official made by HIS PRS not by HIMSELF.

    at least HE didn’t bought followers like salman in Facebook who uses Facebook.but stars only uses twitter,where fake salman is behind amir khan.

    so lallu is the teesra khan and the hit he gave this year due to Harshali Malhotra.and prdp failed to beat any record which is lallu’s real stardom,ROFL.lallutards are so much frustrated ,ROFL.

  • Now haters could not propogate against it ……as they tried their level best against Dilwale…Still Dilwale world wide 300 + and in all time TOP 10 . Shame on haters face

  • Indicine have article on famous clashes of bollywood…different citeria for verdict for movies in different span…etc etc…

  • Facebook likes is not as big as Twitter followers even honey Singh has more Facebook like compare than anybody else bt Twitter followers means a person who influenced people to follow him or her so there is no comparison between Fb likes and twitter follower it’s like compare to galli cricket with International cricket even on facebook my page has huge likes compare than others so what??? am I a superstar lol … ;)

  • okey!!!
    …now indicine will u plzzz update abt Dilwale Box office collection ??? its oke don’t be ashemd of others failure :p

  • @Challa, amitabh Bachchan is a legend and most loved and most respected megastar of Indian cinema. Stop being jealous as srk can not even reach the level big b has achieved. Why do you have so much negativity and jealousy against every actor except Srk?

  • I really would like to see what roles SRK would do in 70s assuming he survives after so much cosmetic surgeries. Big B … rulz everyone.. (all Khan’s included) .. !!

  • Well I’m pretty certain that the PM would cross the 20 or 25 million before anyone else!

    Aamir I think lost some followers after the intolerance controversy……..

    Facebook though is a different ball game altogether……Salman and Deepika ahead by leaps and bounds!

  • Oh wow. Our king has crossed so many followers on twitter despite giving a flop recently. Lets do lungi dance lungi dance lungi dance lungi dance. :-) :D ?????

  • srk is the most liked actor ever..collection of dilwale proves it..all are praising bm no one support dilwale even then bm takes 12 days to cross dilwale in india while dilwale is earning only becoz of srk…if you compare the star cast of both films then there is only one difference which is srk..hatts off to the king of bollywood

  • Dilwale was better movie than kick dhoom3,prdp …..
    Best story in comparison with other rohit shetty film
    No doubt BM is cult classic where as dilwale is wholesome entertainer

  • Dear SRK, keep smashing Twitter, YouTube and Indicine polls !!!!!! Salman, Aamir and Hrithik will take care of Box Office …. One Day SRK will be called King of Social Media and his movies will earn same as Anupam Kher’s movies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • These followers are really fake and paid. If he really had such huge followers then excusewale would not have bombed so badly on box office…

  • @indicine:
    Google & Yahoo both the top search engine published the most searched Indians list of 2015. Bhai topped the list. Please post an article on it…

  • what a nonsense Indicine, srk has 15million follower,srk has 16 million, srk has 17 million and blah blah.Does this a article to publish.Year is ending now, you should post the star rankings for domestic,overseas and worldwide.Most awaited film prediction. and other interesting articles.These followers game is simply boring.
    Second thing that I always named you srkcine, and your behave is also like a srk fan
    Its looking you guys are upset from srk, hence you guys left no chance to bringing the negative side for dilwale in last 1 week.While earlier you were talking positives & positives for dilwale continuously. You should given equal importance to both BM and dilwale with there positive and negative facts before and after the release.No doubt you guys able to garner much traffic by posting only negative aspect about dilwale as many srkians like @the phenom,@aman etc are silent visitors, and srk haters &non fans are more active but was expecting equality for both films.Highly disappointed with these irregularity. But I also want to thank you for keeping us update regularly throughout this clash from last 2-3 months. Keep doing good work guys.

  • For Srk fans :

    #1 social media : Twitter

    #1 theater : Maratha Mandir

    #1 award : Filmfake

    #1 chaddi Baniyan : ONN

    #1 powder : Thanda thanda cool cool

    #1 Hair Oil : Navratan Tel

    #1 car : Hyundai

    #1 Paint : Asian paints

    And many more…… But it is a different thing that there are many brands which are better than above !!!!!! Lol

  • “bollywoodfan” Cosmetic surgery makes Salman (transplantation of hair on a bald head, plastic surgery on the eyelids, face), from SRK surgery after injuries

  • @Shaker your over actor srk is nothing in front of megastar aamir khan who is the most loved megastar. Srk cam only dream to come close to biggest megastar of Bollywood aamir khan.

  • Congrats Srk is king of Bollywood he always shine on twitter . Legend of Indian cinema proud to be Hinustani .
