One of the most trusted and credible digital vaults of showbiz IMDb has announced its much-awaited list of this year¡¯s most popular stars. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan who was out of the list for quite some time due to his four-year-long break has bounced back and topped the chart.
For the unversed, IMDb calculates the page views worldwide to prepare this list. Closely followed by SRK on the list is actress Alia Bhatt who was at Number 2 last year as well. She was relevant this year for her Hollywood Debut Heart of Stone, her contribution in Oscar-winning RRR and KJo¡¯s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
Reacting to this feat, Alia told Deadline, ¡°I thank my audience for bringing me to the position that I am at. While I hope to continue entertaining them, I am filled with only love and gratitude. I also promise to keep working hard and bringing more inspiring stories and characters on screen.¡±
Interestingly, actress Wamiqa Gabbi shot to massive fame this year with her projects Khufiya, Jubilee, Kali Jotta and Modern Love Chennai. Talking about the same, she told Deadline, ¡°This is my debut on the IMDb Most Popular Indian Stars list, and I am delighted!¡±
¡°The fact that IMDb represents the sentiment of the global audience makes this even more special for me¡ I¡¯ve had a busy year working across genres and languages, and it makes me happy and grateful that my fans have appreciated that. I look forward to working with the same dedication on my upcoming projects and returning the love showered upon me.¡±
