Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and numero uno Indian filmmaker SS Rajamouli attained a huge honor. Both the stars have been named among world’s 100 Most Influential People of 2023 list released by the popular English magazine Time.
Rajamouli is the first-ever Indian filmmaker to achieve the Time honor. His popularity increased by leaps and bounds following his successful stint at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards earlier this year. In a special note for the Time magazine, RRR actress Alia Bhatt has said that Rajamouli genuinely loves the flair and abandon of stories. “India is a massive country with diverse demographics, tastes, and culture. But he gets that—and he unites us through his movies,” she added
On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan is the only Indian actor to make it to the Time 100 Most Influential People list this year. The actor recently delivered not only his career’s biggest, but Bollywood’s all-time highest grosser with Pathaan. The film had registered a historic success in India and abroad.
Author Salman Rushdie, television host Padma Lakshmi, US President Joe Biden, King Charles, Syrian-born swimmers and activists Sara Mardini and Yusra Mardini, star icon Bella Hadid, Tesla and Twitter chief Elon Musk and iconic singer and artist Beyonce are among the world’s 100 Most Influential People of 2023.
