Forbes: Here’s The Most Influential South Stars On Insta

The list of the Top 30 most influential Instagram celebrities from South India was compiled for Forbes India. The happening beauty, Rashmika Mandanna is the only celebrity from the South Indian film industry with more than 20 million followers on Instagram and now she is also the most influential celebrity as she recorded a high growth rate in the number of followers, likes and video views.

Rashmika grabbed the top spot among the most influential actors on Instagram from South India. She is followed by her bestie Vijay Devarakonda and Kannada actor Rocking star Yash. Although most of the actors on the list work across languages and regions, over 50 per cent of them work predominantly in the Telugu film industry, which is also the biggest among the four South Indian cinema industries, followed by Tamil.

Among many intriguing celebrity interviews on Forbes, Mahesh Babu’s interview is trending on social media. The actor was asked, “what Is the secret of his longevity as he has been a superstar for more than two decades”. The actor said “The Secret of my Longevity is the unconditional love of my fans for which I am extremely grateful”.

Also, Nayanathara’s interview is a treat for her fans who spoke on a wide spectrum of topics for the first time ever. The actor, who often goes by her “gut feeling” while picking acting projects, says she hopes there comes a time when women demanding their worth, “be it in terms of the kind of roles written for us or the remuneration we are offered”, is not something that needs discussion and instead becomes a default way of being.
