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 RankingThe 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.

Mumbai, Jul 21: Police have recorded statements ofthree psychiatrists and a psychotherapist as part of their probe into the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput last month, a senior official said on Monday.

Their "statements were recorded over the last three- four days" by the Bandra police who are probing the case, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone IX) Abhishek Trimukhe.

The late actor was consulting these mental health professionals and hence their statements were recorded as part of the ongoing probe, police said.

Rajput was undergoing treatment for depression since November 2019, they said.

Rajput, 34, was found hanging in his suburban Bandra apartment on June 14 in what the police claimed was a case of suicide. In the initial investigation, the Mumbai police had found that the actor was under medication for depression.

So far, the police have recorded statements of over 36 people, including director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Bollywood casting director Mukesh Chhabra, actress Sanjana Sanghi and Rajput's friend Sandip Singh, among others.

Rajput's friend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, has also given her statement to the police.

Filmmaker Aditya Chopra recorded his statement in connection with the case at the Versova Police Station on Saturday.

Rajput starred in films such as 'Shuddh Desi Romance', 'Raabta', 'Kedarnath' and 'Sonchiriya'. But his most prominent role came as cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic, 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story'.

Chennai, Feb 5: The popular cine actor Rajinikanth has defended the Union Government on the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying it will not affect the Indian Muslims.

In a brief interaction with reporters this morning in Chennai, the matinee idol said if the Muslims are affected by the CAA, he would be at the forefront in their defence. He asked how will the legislation affect the Indian Muslims when they chose to stay back in the country to make it their motherland. Mr Rajinikanth also supported the National Population Register saying it has been in force even in the past.

On the NRC, Mr Rajinikanth said the Government has already made it clear that its nationwide rollout has not been even discussed so far. Mr Rajinikanth is nourishing political ambitions and has made it clear that he would plunge into politics ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections in the state which is due in 2021.

This law violates the fundamentals of the Indian constitution. Whey they are seeing the Muslims angle first?

 

It looks that they are misinforming the public by diverting into a Muslim only issue. If that was the case, why so many non-Muslims are protesting? I looks like Rajini has back-end support to the center's CAA move.
