In a notable shift on social media, Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor has surpassed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in terms of Instagram followers. Shraddha Kapoor, a popular figure in the Indian film industry, now boasts an impressive 91.4 million followers on the platform. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is one of the most followed world leaders on Instagram, currently has 91.3 million followers.
This achievement highlights the significant influence of Bollywood celebrities on social media, particularly Instagram, where they connect with fans on a personal level, share glimpses of their lives, promote their work, and endorse various brands. Shraddha Kapoor, known for her roles in films like “Aashiqui 2,” “Stree,” and “Chhichhore,” has consistently maintained a strong presence on social media. Her relatable content, behind-the-scenes posts, and engaging interaction with fans have contributed to her growing popularity.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Modi’s Instagram account is primarily used to share important updates, government initiatives, and moments from his public life. Despite the slight difference in follower count, PM Modi continues to hold a prominent position among global leaders on social media.
This development underscores the growing power of social media in shaping public perception and influence. While political figures like PM Modi use the platform to communicate with citizens, celebrities like Shraddha Kapoor leverage it to build a more personal connection with their audience. The close competition in follower counts between a political leader and a film star also reflects the diverse interests of the Indian populace on digital platforms.
