Exclusive! Shraddha Kapoor overtakes PM Modi as most-followed Indian on Instagram

Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor has overtaken India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Instagram, reaching 91.4 million followers. Modi, with 91.3 million followers, is now the second most-followed Indian on the platform. Despite this shift, Modi maintains his lead as the most-followed global leader on X (formerly Twitter) with over 101.2 million followers.

Kapoor, recently seen in the hit film Stree 2: Sarkate ka Aatank, has achieved a significant milestone on Instagram. Her follower count, which now stands at 91.4 million, marks a new high, positioning her as the third most-followed Indian celebrity on Instagram, trailing only behind Virat Kohli and Priyanka Chopra. Her recent success at the box office, with the film earning over Rs 250 crore in just five days, has further boosted her social media presence.

While Shraddha Kapoor's Instagram numbers are impressive, Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to lead as the most-followed global leader on X. With over 101.2 million followers, Modi surpasses other prominent global figures, including US President Joe Biden, Pope Francis, and Dubai's HH Sheikh Mohammed. His substantial follower count on X underscores his significant influence and outreach on the platform.
 

On X, Modi also outpaces several renowned global personalities. For instance, Taylor Swift has 95.2 million followers, Donald Trump has 89.7 million, and Virat Kohli holds 64.7 million followers. This comparative data highlights Modi's substantial digital presence and influence in the global social media landscape.
