Diljit Dosanjh and Ranbir Kapoor are also among the top celebrities on the list, as disclosed by the UK’s weekly Eastern Eye. The publication highlights Shah Rukh Khan’s exceptional contribution to the film industry stating, “Khan will become the first leading man from the modern era to have three huge Bollywood blockbuster hits in a calendar year. By drawing big audiences back into cinema halls with global juggernauts, the actor gave a movie industry that has been in deep decline a much-needed boost and had a transformative effect. The history-making superstar eclipsed everyone else with his brilliance and reminded global audiences what escapist Bollywood cinema is capable of.”
