Karan Johar
From KJo’s Koffee With Karan to the controversy surrounding Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Variety has covered it all.
“Karan Johar found himself the victim of political tensions between India and Pakistan in 2016 because a political party made capital of him casting Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil” and threatened to block the film’s release”.
Priyanka Chopra
The Quantico star’s illustrious career in Bollywood and various philanthropic initiatives have been mentioned by Variety.
“Although she had envisioned an engineering career, Chopra changed direction after winning the 2000 Miss World Pageant, when she received offers to act in Indian films. Variety’s Derek Elley praised her “solid screen debut” in Bollywood with 2003’s The Hero: Love Story of a Spy. But her career took off after she played the love interest in Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish in 2006”.
Variety’s list leads with 362 people from United States, followed by 28 from UK, 20 from China, 16 from France, 15 from Germany, 12 from India, 8 from Italy and 6 from Spain.
