“Sheron Ka Zamaana Hota Hai”: Shah Rukh Khan yet again features in World’s Most Admired 2021

Despite staying away from films for over three years and delivering two back to back flops in 2018 with Zero and Jab Harry Met Sejal, Shah Rukh Khan has yet again proved as he says in Raees – “Sheron Ka Zamaana Hota Hai”.

YouGov America has released this year’s list of the ‘World’s Most Admired Men’ and Shah Rukh Khan is listed at number 14. The list also features Amitabh Bachchan who is right behind SRK at number 15.

Last year, Shah Rukh Khan was at number 17 on the list and Amitabh Bachchan was at number 14.

While none of the Indian actors could make it to the top ten, the same can’t be said about Indian actresses, as Priyanka Chopra is slotted at the tenth spot in the list of Most Admired Women of 2021.

The list also features Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at number 13.

Similar to Shah Rukh, Aishwarya too has been away from the big screen. Since 2016, she was seen in only one film, Fanney Khan in 2018 which turned out to be a huge flop.

Priyanka Chopra was at number 15 last year and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the new entrant on the list.

In terms of per cent share of admiration, it is Priyanka Chopra who tops the list amongst the Indian actors with 3.2, followed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at 2.4. While Shah Rukh Khan has 2.3 and Amitabh Bachchan has 2.2.

However, these four aren’t the only “Indians” on the list. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dropped four spots this year to number 8 with a 3.6 rating on the men’s list.

Former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is a new entrant this year at number 12 with 2.4 and current Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has dropped two spots to number 18 with a 1.8 rating.

In the women’s list, besides Priyanka and Aishwarya, Indian author Sudha Murty has gained 3 spots to number 14 with a 2.3 rating.

Overall, the men’s list is topped by former US President Barack Obama with a 7.8 rating and the women’s list is topped by his wife Michelle Obama with a 7.1 rating.
