Priyanka Chopra Congratulates Shraddha Kapoor as She Surpasses Her on Instagram Followers

The latest twist over social media has Shraddha Kapoor taking away Priyanka Chopra’s position of the second most followed Indian celebrity on Instagram. This milestone follows the stupendous success of her latest film, Stree 2, which has crossed ₹500 crore in India. The success of the film has consolidated Shraddha’s position as one of the top actresses in Bollywood and saw her social media popularity surge. Her Instagram followers have reached 92.7 million. Priyanka Chopra, currently with 91.9 million followers, took Shraddha’s feat sportingly, as a mark of respect and appreciation between the two stars.

Shraddha Kapoor’s Social Media Rise

The rise of Shraddha Kapoor on Instagram is definitely a testament to her increasing influence in the Indian film industry. She has steadily connected with her audience through the site via her regular posts and relatable content. And more recently, the post for the success of Stree 2 got widely acclaimed and further drove her follower count. The post has a simple yet powerful gesture with folded hands emojis that went out and connected with the fans worldwide. It is this connectivity with the audience, along with her professional achievements, that has contributed to her increasing number of followers on Instagram.

It has been a massive box office hit since its release on August 15, with Stree 2 directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana. A horror-comedy, it is also counting upon special cameos by the two Bollywood biggies – Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan, and is the sequel to the film Stree that was also a box office success. Success for the sequel not only promoted Shraddha’s career but also played a major role in her rise on social media.

Priyanka Chopra Dances Gracefully

Although Shraddha Kapoor stole a march over Priyanka Chopra on Instagram, the latter showed nothing but grace and encouragement towards her peer. When Shraddha shared her celebratory post for Stree 2 crossing the ₹400 crore mark globally, Priyanka replied with raised hands, red hearts, and fire emojis for her approval and encouragement. A response by Priyanka like that shows the bonding that exists among Bollywood stars despite the competitive nature of the industry.

That Priyanka Chopra graciously acknowledges Shraddha’s achievement speaks volumes of her confidence and maturity as an international icon, more so because she has already set her mark in both Bollywood and Hollywood. In that respect, Priyanka’s reaction may be viewed as a goodwill gesture toward the young Bollywood stars who have now started making their presence felt.

Shraddha Kapoor Dominates Instagram

Shraddha Kapoor leads ahead of Priyanka Chopra and even the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, with a tally of 92.7 million followers on the photo-sharing app. She is the second most followed Indian celebrity on the network after Virat Kohli; the cricketer boasts a humongous 270 million followers. Other Bollywood actresses who make the list are Alia Bhatt, with 85.2 million followers; Deepika Padukone, with 79.9 million followers.

Shraddha ruled Instagram because she talked with her audience, content was relatable, and she used the medium to promote her movies or other projects. Her posts show her pretty down-to-earth; thus, a broad audience relates to this. Further, involvement in successful projects like Stree 2 merely continued to seal her position among the top stars of Bollywood on and off social media.

Priyanka Chopra’s Future Projects

While Shraddha Kapoor is basking in the success of Stree 2, Priyanka Chopra is nowhere near slowing down. She has a few promising projects lined up ahead, which look to keep her in the limelight for the time being. The Bluff by Frank E. Flowers, featuring Priyanka as a former woman pirate in the Caribbean of the 19th century, is one of her most looked-forward-to films. The film is going to be an action-packed ride, with Priyanka once more proving her versality as an actress.

In addition to The Bluff, Priyanka is also supposed to co-star with John Cena, Idris Elba, and Jack Quaid in the action-comedy Heads of State, coming from helmer Ilya Naishuller. This, too, is expected to be a high-octane action-packed experience that would extend Priyanka’s global reach.

Meanwhile, Priyanka’s Marathi film Paani is all geared up to hit the theatres on October 18. Directed by Adinath Kothare, the film has been produced by Priyanka along with her mother Madhu Chopra under the Purple Pebble Pictures. The film tells the story of a drought-stricken village man seeking self-sufficiency in water. The movie, upon its release in 2019, received the National Film Award for Best Film on Environment Conservation, and this time it will again catch big attention.

Conclusion

The success of Shraddha Kapoor over Priyanka Chopra on Instagram is such a big thing for her career that shows her influential rise in Bollywood. The more surprising thing is the response of Priyanka Chopra over this new development, and it shows mutual respect for each other in Bollywood. While Shraddha is all over the projects and social media, and Priyanka remains an icon in every respect and has quite a few promising films lined up, both of them will be ruling the roost in their own ways. The success of Stree 2 and anticipation building over the releases of Priyanka in the near future signal the dynamism of Bollywood, where established stars along with new ones keep pushing the envelope and reaching new heights.
