Shraddha Kapoor beats Deepika Padukone to become 3rd most followed Indian on Instagram. Here’s who made it to top 2

Actor Shraddha Kapoor is the third most-followed Indian celebrity on Instagram and has dethroned Deepika Padukone from the spot. With 56.5 million followers, Shraddha is just a few million followers behind Priyanka Chopra, who has 58 million followers. Deepika has 52 million followers on the photo-sharing app.

While Deepika and Priyanka have forever been in tussle for the second place, the first spot has belonged to cricketer Virat Kohli and he has been unchallenged for years with his 82 million followers. Last year, both Deepika and Priyanka’s name had appeared on a list of people with most fake followers on Instagram. At sixth place on the fake followers’ list, a massive 48% of Deepika’s followers were bots, according to an analysis from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP).
