Mumbai: With ‘Wanted’ in 2009, Salman Khan made a grand comeback in Bollywood! And since then has been ruling the roost. With back-to-back hits like ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ready’, ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Dabangg 2’, the hunk of an actor has proved that he is the undisputed king of the Box Office.
This man is omnipresent- on the silver screen, on TV, in commercials and even in social media. And here’s some good news for all the diehard fans of the ‘Dabangg’ superstar.
According to a research, Khan is the most popular celebrity on social media. He surpasses megastar Amitabh Bachchan and his arch rival Shah Rukh Khan with clear distinction.
Talking to an English daily, a source from Asterii Analytics said, “We used sophisticated web analysis tools to scan millions of pages on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, blogs and online forums to quantify the total volume of buzz and conversations on our stars. A specially designed four phase methodology was used. A shortlist of 30+ possible candidates was developed in the first phase. We developed 25 parameters to rank the candidates on the total volume of buzz. Using this 4 phase process we came to a single score and the top three candidates were Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. And Salman Khan emerged as the winner with a consistently high margin.”
Khan has over 7,516,597 fan following on Facebook, 3,266,882 followers on Twitter. Not just that, the actor has fan club pages on Facebook and Twitter with over 757,057 and 577,919 followers respectively. There are about 60,567 videos on YouTube and 2,774 followers on Google+!
So isn’t Salman Khan the ultimate ‘Bigg Boss’?
