MUMBAI: The Forbes 2014 India celebrity list is out. And this time, it has a new leader.
After enjoying the top rank in the list for three consecutive years, Shah Rukh Khan has been replaced by Salman Khan. The reason behind SRK going down from the coveted spot to number 3 position is lack of any film release (except a cameo) between 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014.
Meanwhile, Salman topped the charts, both in terms of revenues and fame.
At number two place, it’s Amitabh Bachchan, who has moved up by three positions in 2014. Big B’s charisma was enhanced by his nearly 12 million Twitter following.
The top 10 celebs and the money made by them:
1. Salman Khan: Rs 244.50 crore
2. Amitabh Bachchan: Rs 196.75 crore
3. Shah Rukh Khan: Rs 202.40 crore
4. MS Dhoni: Rs 141.80 crore
