Salman beats Shahrukh in Times Celebex Ranking

April 6, 2015

Mumbai, Apr 6: In the latest battle of the Khans of Bollywood, Salman Khan has taken the crown again!

The handsome actor has beaten Shahrukh Khan two years in a row as Bollywood’s top actor named by Times Celebex.

Celebex Ranking The index ranks 50 male and female stars by their box office performance, brand endorsement and cross-media popularity.

In the 2014 rating index, Salman leads the actor’s list by gaining an extra 14 ‘T Score’ since 2013. This puts him safely in the top spot, as Shahrukh has lost a hefty 67 points.

But the almighty Salman has upped the game for the Khan ‘rivalry’ by grabbing three more powerful titles – Box Office King, Most Searched Actor Online and Most Popular Actor in Print Media.

Shahrukh, on the other hand, has only managed to snatch ‘Best in Brand Endorsement’ out of nine categories.

Climbing to number three in Times Celebex 2014 is the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, who has also earned the honour of Most Followed on Social Media.

On the actress front is an interesting rise and fall. While it is hardly a surprise that Deepika Padukone is named top actress, the Piku (2015) star has collected a solid 75 more ‘T Score’ than in 2013.

Her triumph over 2013’s winner Katrina Kaif, whose wax figure has recently been unveiled at Madame Tussauds London, is no doubt aided by Katrina’s major loss of ‘T Score’ from 474 to 381.

As Katrina drops to third place, Deepika further proves her celebrity power by garnering the highest following on social media and being the most popular actress in print media.

The ranking takes into account the data provided by ‘credible external agencies that service the media industry’ and a diverse range of media outlets, such as cinema and TV channels.

‘T Score’ for each Bollywood actor and actress is tallied up every month of the year to provide the most up-to-date index of their stardom.

Salman, having been named actor of the month six times in 2014, has effortlessly come out on top in the annual round-up.

Manoj Tiwari urges Maharashtra CM to register FIR in Sushant Singh Rajput's death

Agencies

July 28,2020

Mumbai, Jul 28: Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to look into the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death and direct the state police to register an FIR in this connection.

Wishing Thackeray on Monday on his birthday, Tiwari, who has acted in Bhojpuri films, pointed out that over 40 days have passed since the death of Rajput, but an FIR is yet to be registered.

"Many happy returns of the Day @CMOMaharashtra Shri Uddhav Ji, on this day I request with folded hands to give justice to Sushant who died 43 days ago, but no FIR has been registered so far. I hope you will help. Please do justice to millions of SSR fans," he tweeted.

Bollywood actor Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14, which the police said was a case of suicide. His death had triggered an outcry from several quarters alleging that the late actor, who hailed from Bihar, was a victim of nepotism in the film industry.

The lawmaker from Northeast Delhi's Lok Sabha seat, who visited the deceased actor's family in Patna last month had then said: "Sushant's father and sister requested me to take up the issue and get him justice. It was really a sentimental moment for me".

Previously, Tiwari had demanded a CBI investigation into the matter

According to the police, statements of 40 people including film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and filmmaker Aditya Chopra and actor Rhea Chakraborty have been recorded in the investigation so far.
