While each of us have varied tastes when it comes to celebrities we crush on, it’s nice to know if our favorites feature on the most popular list too. Yahoo recently released a list of most searched Bollywood women, and some of it is predictable, some of it is surprising.
We’ve also shared the 2016 list at the end of this story, so that you can find out who moved where.
2017
1. Sunny Leone
The whole world might be copper, but she is gold. Sunny Leone stood No. 1 in 2016, and maintains her No. 1 status this year too.
2. Priyanka Chopra
Even though she has shifted base to Hollywood, PeeCee still has her share of fans in India. In fact, they seem to have increased and she has jumped to No. 2 from No. 5.
3. Aishwarya Rai
It’s probably the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (even though the movie released in 2016) effect, and the fact that the 44-year-old actress still manages to look like a million bucks.
4. Katrina Kaif
Like Sunny, Katrina Kaif maintains her position on the list. No. 4 in 2016, No. 4 in 2017.
5. Deepika Padukone
Well, we would expect her to be higher on this list considering she too has taken to Hollywood, and has been in the news for Padmavati. But then, as they say, stats don’t lie.
6. Kareena Kapoor
Again, it’s a little surprising that Kareena Kapoor still commands such a huge fan following considering she wasn’t part of any film in 2017, and her role in Udta Punjab (which had Alia Bhatt playing the lead) was not lengthy. In 2016, she stood No. 7 so we probably think that the jump has been because of her baby.
7. Mamta Kulkarni
Again, people didn’t search for Mamata Kulkarni because they had a crush on her (at least, the vast majority), but because they were curious about her involvement in a huge drug scandal.
8. Disha Patani
She wasn’t even on the list in 2016, but she is slowly and surely earning her share of fans.
9. Kavya Madhavan
We (at least, this writer if not my whole team) haven’t heard her name but apparently she is a popular Malayali actress. Like Disha, she wasn’t even on the list in 2016.
10. Esha Gupta
We’ve said that Esha Gupta is hot enough to make us call the firefighters, and her entry into this esteemed list of most searched women only validates that claim.
2016
1. Sunny Leone
2. Bipasha Basu
3. Deepika Padukone
4. Katrina Kaif
5. Priyanka Chopra
6. Pratyusha Banerjee
7. Kareena Kapoor
8. Radhika Apte
9. Aishwarya Rai
10. Anushka Sharma
Shockingly, Anushka Sharma isn’t even on the list of most searched women of 2017. Probably because everyone loves Virat Kohli too much to think about her. Radhika Apte, Pratyusha Banerjee amd Bipasha Basu are other women who’ve missed out in 2017.
