Meet India’s most popular actress
According to the recent January list of Ormax Media, Samantha Ruth Prabhu has won the title of ‘Most Famous Female Actress in India’ after Alia Bhatt. The ‘Shaankuttalam’ actress had beaten Bollywood divas Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and other South Indian actresses.
Before Samantha, Rashmika Mandanna was more popular in North India and also had the tag of National Crush. However, now Samantha has taken over the title of most popular female star.
As soon as Ormax Media’s tweet went live, Samantha’s fans are praising the actress. However, the list on Instagram has received mixed reactions from netizens. One wrote, ‘If they are so popular and number 1 then why does Deepika Padukone have 70 million followers on Instagram and Samantha has only 24 million followers on Instagram. Another wrote, PR has gone active.
For your information, let us tell you that Samantha Ruth Prabhu once showed Ormax’s May list on Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan and said that she is on top. In a video, she can be heard saying, ‘I must be honest, I am paying someone at Ormax.’ She said this when Karan Johar asked her, ‘How do you feel when you beat Alia Bhatt?’ The actress jokingly said, ‘Sorry… I have paid a big price for doing this.’
Samantha was recently diagnosed with a disease called myositis for which she was hospitalised for some time. But, she is slowly recovering and is gearing up for upcoming projects. She will next be seen in Kushi opposite Vijay Deverakonda.
