Amitabh Bachchan Surpasses Shah Rukh Khan by 1 Lakh Followers in Hurun Rich List 2025 Social Media Rankings
The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 has unveiled not just the wealthiest individuals in India but also highlighted the significant digital influence wielded by some of its most prominent figures. Among the list, Bollywood stars dominate the social media landscape, with Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan taking the top three spots. Their massive followings underscore the enduring appeal of these icons in the digital age.
Amitabh Bachchan Leads the Pack
According to the report, Amitabh Bachchan boasts an impressive social media following of 487 lakh (4.87 crore) across platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and LinkedIn. This figure places him at the forefront of the list, just ahead of fellow superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who has a following of 486 lakh (4.86 crore). Hrithik Roshan closely trails with 481 lakh (4.81 crore). The narrow margin between these three icons illustrates their formidable presence in the digital realm, even as they stand alongside some of India’s most influential business and technology leaders.
The competition among these Bollywood giants is fierce. Amitabh Bachchan leads Shah Rukh Khan by a mere 1 lakh followers, while Hrithik Roshan is only 6 lakh behind Bachchan. Collectively, these three superstars command an astounding total of 1,454 lakh, or 14.54 crore followers, showcasing their immense reach and influence.
Karan Johar and Other Influencers
Following the top three Bollywood stars is filmmaker Karan Johar, who has a substantial following of 182 lakh (1.82 crore). Johar’s presence on social media significantly surpasses that of several notable figures in the business and technology sectors included in the report.
In comparison, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has 116 lakh followers, while Anand Mahindra closely follows with 115 lakh. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has a following of 56 lakh, and Bollywood actor and entrepreneur Juhi Chawla, along with her family, registers 53 lakh followers. Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani has 24 lakh followers, and entrepreneur Ronnie Screwvala rounds out the list with 19 lakh.
The Broader Picture of Wealth and Influence
The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 features a total of 1,687 individuals, each with wealth exceeding Rs. 1,000 crore, across 91 cities. This extensive list highlights the scale of wealth creation in India. However, when it comes to direct engagement with millions through social media, Bollywood’s legendary figures continue to stand out. With Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan collectively commanding over 14.5 crore followers, their influence clearly extends far beyond the confines of cinema.
