Shraddha Kapoor Surpasses PM Modi on Instagram after Stree 2 Success
Shraddha Kapoor has recently achieved a remarkable milestone in her social media journey, surpassing none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Instagram. The Bollywood actress, now boasting an impressive 91.4 million followers, has climbed to the third position among Indians on the popular social media platform. This significant achievement comes in the wake of her latest film, *Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank*, which has significantly contributed to her soaring online presence.
Riding the wave of Stree 2’s success, Shraddha has managed to edge past PM Modi, who currently holds 91.3 million followers. This feat places her just behind cricket legend Virat Kohli and fellow Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra, who occupy the first and second spots, respectively, with massive followings of their own.
Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank hit the screens on August 15 and has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm. As a sequel to the 2018 hit *Stree*, expectations were already high, and the timing of its release on Independence Day further boosted its prospects. The film’s blend of horror and comedy, coupled with the holiday release, worked wonders at the box office.
In just six days, Stree 2 has raked in an impressive ₹254.55 crore nett in India, with a domestic gross collection of ₹275.5 crore. Adding to this, the overseas market has contributed ₹47 crore, bringing the total gross earnings to a whopping ₹322.5 crore, according to Sacnilk.
Shraddha Kapoor’s growing influence on Instagram is noteworthy. While she currently sits at the third spot, she isn’t far behind Priyanka Chopra, who has 91.8 million followers. However, the gap between her and the number one spot held by Virat Kohli remains substantial. Kohli’s colossal following of 271 million followers on Instagram sets him in a league of his own, making him the undisputed king of the platform in India.
The buzz surrounding Stree 2 has not only impacted the box office but has also driven significant interest online. In the past four hours alone, the search for “Stree 2” on Google has seen a tremendous surge, reflecting the film’s popularity and the curiosity surrounding its plot and performances.
While Shraddha Kapoor’s rise on Instagram is a significant achievement, PM Modi continues to dominate the social media landscape in other arenas. On X (formerly known as Twitter), the Indian Prime Minister remains the global leader with over 101.2 million followers. His popularity on X far surpasses that of other global figures, including US President Joe Biden (38.5 million), Pope Francis (18.5 million), and Dubai’s HH Sheikh Mohammed (11.2 million).
PM Modi’s reach on X also eclipses that of international celebrities like Taylor Swift, who has 95.2 million followers, former US President Donald Trump with 89.7 million, and pop icon Lady Gaga, who boasts 83 million followers. Even Virat Kohli, who reigns supreme on Instagram, trails behind with 64.7 million followers on X.
Shraddha Kapoor’s latest achievement on Instagram highlights the growing influence of Bollywood celebrities on social media. Her rise to the top three, surpassing even a global figure like PM Modi, underscores the impact of her recent film success and her popularity among fans. As she continues to climb the ranks, the competition among India’s most-followed personalities remains fierce, and it will be interesting to see how these dynamics evolve in the future.
