SRK and DP voted as the number 1 hero and heroine per India Today!

The reigning king and queen on Bollywood

In the graphic you shared they have the no.2 next to Srk ?

Amitabh Bachchan isn't pictured but apparently he's the one ranked as #1. This article mentions that SRK is a very close #2 and his and Big B's scores are worlds apart from Salman and Akshay. SRK's score is 24.5 at #2 whereas Salman at #3 is only 7.9

I'm also impressed with Anushka that she's retired and hasn't had a movie in years but still ranks in the top five. This was evident from her Instagram follower engagement as well as she had a top score (unlike PC who is the most infamous for buying followers).

What this really indicates is that if Dhoom 4 needs starpower, they only need to look as far as SRK and Deepika. The most requested actors for Dhoom 4 and the most popular in the country with Deepika the reigning queen for the last few years of the industry.

YRF saw Pathaan's success with SRK and Deepika and now they need to listen to fans and deliver again.

Rajdeep Sardesai and Rahul Kanwal almost came to blows regarding one of the Poll results. Normally,Parties fight with each other..This time India Today Anchors were justifying the numbers

Rashmika is making moves. She has signed films,many heroines may be eyeing.

Stree has shown the moneybags,that heroines,dances and songs bring in repeat audiences, especially in small towns. Nothing else explains the 500 crs. I am hoping to see more songs,more female singers and dances by leading ladies. More ' elevation' scenes for heroines.

No 4 Akshay . Very believable poll.

Turns out AB Sr and Deepika are the most popular and the image above did not have AB Sr's pic!!!

When I think of it, Kalki really had the biggest starcast in recent times of any film - AB Sr, DP, Prabhas and Kamal Hassan....like damn!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing the link, will post the entire article, the image misses out on AB sr even in the article

Entertainment | The Bachchan supremacy

At 81, US president Joe Biden may have called it a day after over five decades in politics, but Amitabh 'the GOAT' Bachchan is still duelling with men half his age on screen. In doing so, he is not only winning hearts but also keeping the box office counters ringing with movies like Kalki 2898 AD. Whether it be his long hosting stint at Kaun Banega Crorepati, marked by an admirable balance of curiosity, charm and gravitas, or his stream of meticulously numbered tweets, Bachchan is delivering a masterclass in how to keep your cinematic career going. In doing so, he has also reclaimed the throne he had relinquished earlier this year to Shah Rukh Khan, who had a fabulous 2023, courtesy two back-to-back blockbusters. After a hiatus this year, Shah Rukh will next be seen in King, a home production in which he will share the screen with his daughter, Suhana Khan.

The latest India Today Mood of the Nation poll also indicates that both Bachchan and Shah Rukh are in a league of their own when it comes to being darlings of the masses. It explains the wide gap between them and the rest of the field which features Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, with the latter particularly having lost his box office sheen. The anticipation for Pushpa 2: The Rule ensures that the National Award-winning Telugu star Allu Arjun is part of the conversation. In fact, he is the only actor from the South to feature in the top five.

Among actresses, Deepika Padukone solidified her supremacy, riding high on the success of two big-ticket action dramas, Fighter and Kalki 2898 AD. She has been the go-to ambassador for Indian cinema abroad for the past few years; 2024 saw her appearance at the BAFTAs make headlines. With a baby due next month, she will be missing from the big screen for a few months, but expect her to make a comeback, much like Alia Bhatt, who finished at No. 3. A distant second is Katrina Kaif, whose January release Merry Christmas showed an artiste who is eager to experiment and display her thespian skills. Rashmika Mandanna, better known as the Srivalli from Pushpa, took the fourth slot. Anushka Sharma rounded the top five, thereby proving that regular appearances in cricket matches make up for the lack of film releases to remain in the public consciousness.

What binds the stars together, interestingly, is how pretty much all of them were prominent faces at the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, which dominated the headlines for a sizeable chunk of 2024. Nearly 36 per cent of the MOTN respondents found it "perfectly fine" for the Ambanis to go all-out to celebrate the nuptials of their youngest child while 30.1 per cent said that it was nothing but "an ostentatious display of wealth".

Entertainment | The Bachchan supremacy

Meanwhile, OTT platforms have made household names of the likes of Pankaj Tripathi, who goes by Kaleen Bhaiyya of Mirzapur, and Manoj Bajpayee, whose Srikant Tiwari from The Family Man is much beloved. The two are followed by Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who were amongst the first actors to jump on the streaming bandwagon. Meanwhile, Sushmita Sen continues to be OTT queen with her gutsy acts in Aarya and Taali. Raveena Tandon's packed 2024 roster—web series Karmma Calling and two direct-to-digital features—paid off with her ranking second.

When it comes to tickling the funny bone, the respondents stuck to the usual, familiar suspects. Kapil Sharma may have switched from TV to streaming (Netflix), but his audience has stuck with him. Filling his giant shoes on Sony is stand-up comic Zakir Khan with his own variety show, Aapka Apna Zakir. They are followed by Kapil's old collaborator Sunil Grover. Meanwhile, Bharti Singh, Mallika Dua and Sugandha Mishra were chosen as the go-to laughter queens.

How is Anushka on this list? I can't even remember her last movie
