According to IMDb's Most Popular Indian Stars of 2024 list, Bollywood actress Triptii Dimri of 'Animal' fame was the most popular Indian star in 2024. She towers above male superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas.
Here is the Top 10 list:
1. Triptii Dimri
2. Deepika Padukone
3. Ishaan Khatter
4. Shah Rukh Khan
5. Sobhita Dhulipala
6. Sharvari
7. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
8. Samantha Ruth Prabhu
9. Alia Bhatt
10. Prabhas
The ranking doesn't reflect the popularity of the stars on the ground. Even those who watch Hindi movies wouldn't have heard Sharvani's name. Sobhita Dhulipala is well-known only among a niche segment of web series viewers. Prabhas' 'Kalki 2898 AD' was a big hit and yet he is ranked below Aishwarya Rai and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
