Rising actress Triptii Dimri has soared to the pinnacle of IMDb’s Most Popular Indian Stars of 2024 ranking, surpassing Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt to claim the coveted top spot. The annual list, determined by the page views of IMDb’s 250 million monthly global visitors, is a testament to both established stars and burgeoning talent in Indian entertainment.
Dimri’s meteoric rise can be attributed to her captivating performances in three notable features this year: Bad Newz, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and the much-anticipated Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Speaking about the recognition, Dimri said in a recent interview, “It is indeed a huge honour to be ranked No. 1 on the IMDb Most Popular Indian Stars of 2024 list. This recognition is a testament to the incredible support of my fans and the hard work of everyone I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with.”
Following closely at No. 2 is industry veteran Deepika Padukone, who commanded attention with a diverse slate of releases, including her Telugu debut in Kalki 2898 AD, Fighter, and Singham Again. Ishaan Khatter, meanwhile, secured the third spot thanks to his role in the international series The Perfect Couple, where he shared screen space with Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber.
A Dynamic Year for Indian Entertainment
The list reflects significant shifts in the entertainment landscape, with emerging stars and legends alike finding their places. Shah Rukh Khan, riding high on the success of Jawan and Dunki, claimed the fourth spot, while Sobhita Dhulipala landed at No. 5. Dhulipala not only ventured into Hollywood with Monkey Man but also lent her voice to Deepika Padukone’s Telugu dialogues in Kalki 2898 AD.
Sharvari claimed the sixth position, thanks to her acclaimed performances in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa. Her rising popularity also earned her IMDb’s “Breakout Star” STARmeter Award. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (No. 7), Samantha (No. 8), Alia Bhatt (No. 9), and Prabhas (No. 10) rounded out the top 10, showcasing a blend of enduring stardom and new-gen talent.
Despite slipping to the ninth position, Alia Bhatt maintained her prominence on the list for the third consecutive year. She balanced her acting career, producing and starring in Jigra, showing off her action moves in the Netflix thriller Heart Of Stone and with her debut at Paris Fashion Week, underscoring her global appeal.
