Amitabh Bachchan BEATS Shah Rukh Khan by just 1 lakh followers in Hurun Rich List 2025 Social Media Data

The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 not only puts the spotlight on India’s wealthiest names but also offers an interesting glimpse into the enormous digital influence commanded by some of its notable entrants. While the list spans entertainment, business and technology, Bollywood personalities occupy the top three spots when it comes to social media following, with Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan emerging as the biggest names.

According to the report, Amitabh Bachchan has a social media following of 487 lakh (4.87 crore) across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and LinkedIn, based on the maximum follower count across these platforms. Shah Rukh Khan follows extremely closely with 486 lakh (4.86 crore), while Hrithik Roshan stands at 481 lakh (4.81 crore). The numbers underline just how formidable the digital reach of Bollywood’s biggest stars remains even alongside some of India’s most influential business and technology leaders.

The gap between the top three is remarkably narrow. Amitabh Bachchan leads Shah Rukh Khan by just 1 lakh followers, while Hrithik Roshan is only 6 lakh behind Bachchan. Together, the three Bollywood superstars account for an astounding 1,454 lakh, or 14.54 crore followers.

Karan Johar is the next Bollywood name featured in the table, with 182 lakh (1.82 crore) followers. His following is significantly ahead of several prominent business and technology figures included in the report.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has 116 lakh followers, followed closely by Anand Mahindra at 115 lakh. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has a following of 56 lakh, while Bollywood actor and entrepreneur Juhi Chawla and family register 53 lakh followers. Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani has 24 lakh, while entrepreneur and producer Ronnie Screwvala has 19 lakh.

The figures present an intriguing picture of influence beyond balance sheets. The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 features 1,687 individuals with wealth of at least Rs. 1,000 crore across 91 cities, highlighting the scale of wealth creation being tracked by the annual list.

Yet, when it comes to connecting with millions of people directly through social platforms, Bollywood’s enduring icons remain a force of their own. With Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan collectively commanding more than 14.5 crore followers, the numbers show that their influence extends well beyond the big screen.

Hurun Rich List 2025: Shah Rukh Khan’s Rs. 12,490 crore wealth surpasses the combined wealth of Juhi Chawla, Hrithik Roshan & Karan Johar

Bollywood's biggest stars have long commanded massive fan followings and impressive box office numbers, but their fortunes increasingly extend far beyond films. The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 offers a glimpse into the business empires built by some of the industry's most prominent personalities, with Shah Rukh Khan and family emerging as the wealthiest Bollywood names on the list.

According to the report, Shah Rukh Khan and family have a reported wealth of Rs. 12,490 crore, placing them at the top of the list of Bollywood's wealthiest personalities. The actor's association with Red Chillies Entertainment has evolved into a diverse entertainment business, making his wealth significantly broader than his earnings as a performer.

Taking the second position is Juhi Chawla and family, with a reported wealth of Rs. 7,790 crore. A major factor behind the family's business interests is their association with Knight Riders Sports, giving the actress a significant presence beyond the film industry.

Hrithik Roshan occupies the third spot with wealth pegged at Rs. 2,160 crore. His business portfolio is represented by HRX, the brand that has expanded his presence into the lifestyle and fitness space. His ranking highlights how celebrity-led consumer brands have become an important part of the modern Bollywood business ecosystem.

At number four is filmmaker and producer Karan Yash Johar, who has a reported wealth of Rs. 1,880 crore. His association with Dharma Productions remains central to his business identity, with the production house continuing to be one of the prominent names in the Hindi entertainment industry.

Completing the top five is Amitabh Bachchan and family, with reported wealth of Rs. 1,630 crore. Unlike the other entries, the table lists investments as the associated business category, reflecting the wider financial interests built by the veteran actor and his family over the years.

Together, the five entries represent a reported Rs. 25,950 crore in wealth. More significantly, the ranking illustrates how Bollywood's biggest names have transformed their stardom into wider business portfolios, spanning entertainment, sports, brands and investments.

Shah Rukh Khan leads India’s richest actors with Rs 10,000 crores net worth; despite Rs 2,490 crores drop in estimated wealth

Shah Rukh Khan has retained his position as the richest Indian actor in the Hurun India Rich List 2026. According to the latest ranking, the actor’s estimated net worth stands at Rs 10,000 crores. His wealth includes his business interests, including production company Red Chillies Entertainment and his involvement with Knight Riders Sports.

While Shah Rukh Khan continues to lead the list, his reported net worth has declined compared to the previous year. The Hurun India Rich List 2025 had estimated his net worth at Rs 12,490 crores. This marks a drop of Rs 2,490 crores, or around 20%, in the latest estimate. Earlier this year, the Hurun Global Rich List had placed his net worth at Rs 10,800 crores. A significant part of Shah Rukh Khan’s wealth is linked to his business ventures. Red Chillies Entertainment, which he runs with his wife Gauri Khan, is among his key business interests. The company has been involved in film production as well as visual effects through its associated ventures. The actor is also associated with Knight Riders Sports, the group behind cricket franchises including Kolkata Knight Riders. His involvement in the sports business forms another part of his overall financial portfolio. Shah Rukh Khan has been away from the big screen since 2023, when he starred in Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. All three films were released in the same year and marked his return to leading roles following a period away from the big screen. The actor is now preparing for his next theatrical release, King. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and stars Shah Rukh Khan alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. King is scheduled to release on December 24. With his latest reported net worth of Rs 10,000 crores, Shah Rukh Khan remains at the top among Indian actors featured in the Hurun India Rich List 2026. His reported wealth, however, is lower than the estimate recorded for him in the previous edition of the list.

Bigg Boss 20: SHOCKING! Kushal Tanwar, aka Gullu, CONFIRMS he was married, REACTS to wedding picture leak controversy; says, "I got divorced in 2024. It was a very depressing phase"

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, opened up about a difficult chapter in his personal life during an emotional conversation with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer. Gullu revealed that he divorced in 2024, just four to five months after getting married.

The revelation came up while the two contestants discussed Gullu’s journey through reality shows. Qazi was surprised to learn that Gullu had been married and asked him whether the marriage happened before or after his reality television stint.

Gullu replied, "I got divorced in 2024. It was a very depressing phase. I was married for 4-5 months. Everyone thought it was wrong, and I kept trying, but then I understood it wasn't working. On our side, marriages happen early, and I had to marry because of my family." Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu opens up about divorce and family pressure Gullu explained that the marriage had taken place amid family expectations. He said he initially continued trying to make the relationship work, but eventually realised that it was not working out.

Despite the difficult period, Gullu said he tried to look ahead and focus on his career. Recalling his mindset at the time, he said, "Nothing can go worse than this; now, life will give me better moving forward from this. And I just decided to focus on my work."

The reality show contestant also revealed that his divorce proceedings were taking place while he was shooting for Roadies. According to Gullu, the situation became more difficult after pictures from his wedding surfaced online.

“I thought it was a game over for me” Speaking about the period, Gullu told Qazi, "I was in Goa with the Roadies gang, and someone leaked out images. I thought it was a game over for me. I didn't know what to do."

Qazi then asked Gullu about the duration of the legal proceedings and whether his family supported him during the period. Gullu revealed that his decision to seek a divorce was not supported by his family initially. He said, "There was a fight in which I wanted divorce and my family was against it. My family members had cut me off completely at that time. All of this took a year to settle these matters. It took a toll on me but I am finally out of all of this."

Gullu's latest revelation also brings renewed attention to the controversy surrounding his wedding pictures. When images purportedly showing him at his wedding had previously surfaced online, he had addressed the claims and called the pictures fake.

Droupadi Murmu urges celebs against harmful endorsements amid Vimal Elaichi Ad row: “A true star is the one who spreads light, not darkness”

President Droupadi Murmu has urged film celebrities to be more mindful of the products they endorse, particularly those that could have harmful effects on public health. Addressing the 72nd National Film Awards ceremony in Gujarat on Tuesday, September 22, she highlighted the influence popular artists have on children and young people and encouraged them to promote healthier lifestyles.

The 72nd National Film Awards, which recognised achievements in Indian cinema for 2024, were presented by Murmu at Ekta Nagar, Kevadia. The ceremony brought together several leading names from the Indian film industry. The awards were held outside New Delhi this year, marking a departure from the recent tradition of hosting the event at Vigyan Bhawan. Droupadi Murmu on celebrity influence Speaking about the reach of film personalities, Murmu pointed out that successful artists can have a strong impact on the choices and habits of younger audiences. She said, "When successful artists speak about the benefits of a disciplined lifestyle, millions of children and young people emulate them. I urge popular artists not to endorse products that are harmful to people's health. A true star is the one who spreads light, not darkness," Murmu said.

The President also urged the film fraternity to ensure that workers, assistants, small-scale artists and those trying to establish themselves in the industry receive respect and social security. Murmu also called for greater representation of women on juries responsible for selecting films for the National Film Awards. She said, "I would like to see women's participation ensured in every regional jury."

She further said, "Incorporating the female perspective in any field makes it possible to form a holistic human outlook." Murmu's remarks come amid Vimal Elaichi ad row The President's comments on celebrity endorsements come days after the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration issued show-cause notices to Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff over their association with a Vimal Elaichi advertisement.

The Maharashtra FDA has alleged that the campaign could amount to indirect or surrogate promotion of Vimal Pan Masala, a product prohibited in the state. The notices sought explanations from the actors regarding their participation in the campaign.

The matter has also reached the courts. The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition by PB Agro LLP challenging the Maharashtra FDA's notices, which were issued over the alleged surrogate promotion of pan masala through the Vimal Elaichi campaign.

The Paradise Mumbai press meet: Nani BREAKS silence on receiving ‘A’ rating: “Our film doesn’t have violence for the sake of violence…you can watch this film with your families, parents”

Nani, Sonali Kulkarni, Raghav Juyal and Kayadu Lohar attended the press meet of The Paradise in Mumbai. On September 21, it came to light that the action entertainer was passed by an ‘A’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Nani was asked about it and he explained the rationale behind the rating.

Nani said, “Of course, when your film has received an ‘A’ certificate, you’ll miss out on kids and a chunk of moviegoers. But I also understand where it's all coming from. There’s a lot of violence in The Paradise.”

He continued, “There are some films, which are fully focused on violence and have violence for the sake of violence. The Paradise is not like that. Our film is a solid drama. It’s an emotional, commercial film and everybody will relate to it very well, regardless of the age group. Even families can come and watch it. You can go with your parents and watch it. You’ll enjoy it completely. But children can’t view the film because there’s a lot of violence.”

Nani further stated, “Everything that happens in the film is what we see around and what we can relate to. There’s drama, emotions and a love story; that is, everything which films, in general, have. But the violence portions are a little higher than other films.”

Did the makers try to secure a U/A rating? Nani replied, “No. We were prepared while shooting itself that we would receive an adult rating.”

The Paradise releases in cinemas on September 24.

The censor cuts

The makers were asked to replace alternate visuals of crow on National Flag. The visuals of a pregnant woman in the beginning were asked to be modified. A foul word was allowed in one place and muted in the rest of the scenes. A scene of a character having a tattoo with a foul word was covered with CGI. The word 'denotified tribe' was asked to be deleted.

The duration of violent stabbing visuals was reduced. In fact, ten other violent scenes replete with torture and blood spills were removed. In three places, words on armed struggle against the country were modified or muted. A reference to a real-life assassination and historical event was muted. Similarly, a reference to a real-life cigarette brand was asked to be censored.

EXCLUSIVE: Ajay Devgn-Rohit Jugraj’s horror thriller titled Suryasparsh

Ajay Devgn's horror thriller with Rohit Jugraj has locked its title. While early reports had circulated Griha Pravesh as the working title, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that the film has officially been titled Suryasparsh.

Devgn plays a supernatural, morally ambiguous character in this high-concept story inspired by Veda Vyasa’s book Garuda Puran, a Sanskrit text comprising a dialogue between Lord Vishnu and Garuda, the King of Birds. The title Suryasparsh sounds catchy and intriguing and aptly signals an eerie world and deepening atmosphere of mystery and dread.

The film went on floors on September 2 and will be shot through November, targeting a theatrical release in the second half of 2027. Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak of Panorama Studios are producing in partnership with Ajay's Devgn Films, extending their years-long association that has yielded successful films such as Drishyam, Raid and Shaitaan. Their upcoming project includes Drishyam: The Conclusion, the final chapter of their beloved family thriller franchise, slated to release in theatres on October 2.

Directed by Rohit Jugraj, who previously assisted on Ram Gopal Varma's Ajay Devgn-starrer horror film Bhoot (2003), and has since directed films such as the Sardaarji franchise and streaming shows like Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and Chamak, Suryasparsh promises to draw audiences into a haunting new world of mystery, fear and suspense.

“Its suspense comes not from spectacle, but from the questions it raises and the unease it quietly builds,” producer Abhishek Pathak said in a statement issued during the announcement of the film earlier this month. “With Ajay Devgn as actor and producer, the project gained an added creative dimension, while Rohit Jugraj was the right filmmaker to bring this haunting material to life. I’m delighted that Panorama Studios is backing this film and continuing our association with Devgn Films.”
