Shraddha Kapoor, the popular Bollywood actress, has achieved a significant social media milestone by becoming the second most-followed Indian on Instagram. With 91.9 million followers as of August 24, 2024, Shraddha has surpassed Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who has 91.8 million followers, to claim this position. This achievement places Shraddha just behind cricketer Virat Kohli, who remains the most-followed Indian on Instagram with over 270 million followers.
The recent surge in Shraddha’s follower count is believed to be driven by the success of her latest film, Stree 2, a horror-comedy that has resonated well with audiences. The movie has grossed over ₹300 crore in India within just nine days of its release, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2024. Shraddha’s growing popularity on social media is a testament to her strong fan base and her influence as a Bollywood star.
Other top Indian Instagram handles include Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who holds the fourth position with 91.3 million followers, followed by Alia Bhatt with 85.2 million, and Katrina Kaif with 80.4 million. Despite the fierce competition, Shraddha Kapoor has emerged as the most-followed female and Bollywood celebrity on the platform, a notable achievement in her career.
On the work front, Shraddha is basking in the success of Stree 2 and is gearing up for her next project, directed by Anurag Basu, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. As Shraddha continues to climb the ranks on Instagram, she is on track to potentially join Virat Kohli in the exclusive 100 million followers club, solidifying her status as a major social media influencer.
