Deepika Padukone is now the reigning queen of Instagram in India. The actress’s photos are most liked on the photo-sharing platform. It doesn’t matter if the picture is on the red carpet, sipping water at an event or an airport-spotting, the minute her pictures go up, there is a barrage of red hearts.
Dips looms over Priyanka Chopra on Twitter with a massive 15.9 million followers, beating PC’s 15 million. On Instagram, Deepika is the most popular Indian actress with 11.5 million followers on Instagram. We asked three top Indian entertainment accounts which actress’s pictures got them most likes and DP featured on everyone’s list, followed by Katrina Kaif and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
BollywoodLife Editor Tushar Joshi says, “Our Insta account gets the maximum likes for Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Varun Dhawan. The reason is simple, these three celebrities have fan clubs that are actively promoting them on Instagram. Katrina is a new entrant on social media with her joining Facebook, but her photos always got tons of likes even before she started her official account.”

Mukul Sharma, Pinkvilla’s Business Head, says, “In most cases, the stars’ personal posts work. In the rest, their professional posts of film shoots and events work, too. Like Deepika Padukone for xXx3 or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at Cannes, etc. Pictures of stars with their kids also do well, like Aishwarya with her daughter, Aaradhya.”

Rashmi from MissMalini.com says, “Couple pictures also do well, like Ranveer-Deepika, Shahid-Mira, Akshay-Twinkle, etc. The personal pics of the stars make them popular, but with couples, it’s the cute factor. For Ranveer, he’s just that crazy so all of his pics have something interesting — whether his outfit or what he’s doing while for Deepika, it’s mostly for her outfits/make-up and how flawless she always looks always. Kareena’s the same as Deepika. And also now that she’s sporting a baby bump, everyone’s loving it even more. Alia has that relatable vibe, so her pics are
always cute, like with her cat or something.”

Selena Gomez is the undeniable queen of Instagram: Not only does she have the most-liked photo of all time (5.6mn likes), but she also has the most followers on the app (99.3mn) and gets paid a cool $550,000 per sponsored post. It’s hard to imagine anyone better suited to give advice on how to use the app — and lucky for her fans, she recently divulged the secret to her success in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. While Selena says there isn’t really a “method to her madness,” she does think part of the reason she’s been so successful with Instagram is because she doesn’t overthink it. She gives fans a super-intimate look into her everyday life, and part of why it’s so great is because of the mediums she uses. She posts pics from professional photo shoots next to selfies and improvised videos, and that means it never feels boring.
