That means his brand value is worth $238 million, making him the third most popular Indian on Instagram after Lione Messi, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deepika_Padukone\"><\/span>Deepika Padukone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no surprise that Deepika Padukone has become India&#8217;s #1 on Instagram. The actor is the highest paid actress in Bollywood and reportedly charges over Rs 1.5 crore per sponsored post on Instagram. She is also the most followed Asian woman on Instagram and is earning over Rs 1.5 crore per brand post she makes. The Bollywood star&#8217;s popularity is not just limited to her work on the big screen, as she&#8217;s made appearances at the MET Gala and Cannes 2018 and has become one of the most followed celebrities on social media.<\/p>\n<p>The actress is the daughter of actor Prakash Padukone and actress Neetu Singh. She was born in Copenhagen and spent her childhood in Bangalore. She studied at Sophia High School in Bangalore and Mount Carmel College. After graduating, Deepika decided to pursue her modelling career and left her bachelor of arts in sociology. Since then, she has remained India&#8217;s #1 on Instagram and is continuing to grow her following on the social networking site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alia_Bhatt\"><\/span>Alia Bhatt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a recent post on Instagram, the actress thanked her fans for supporting her upcoming movies.

With 56.5 million followers on Instagram, she has topped rivals Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
