Profile
Bollywood's most enduring superstar slid one spot in the rankings this year, even though his comedy drama Piku grossed Rs 111 crore at the box office worldwide. However, he had a forgettable outing in Shamitabh. Bachchan returned to the Star India fold to host a TV show Aaj Ki Raat Hai Zindagi while continuing to host Kaun Banega Crorepati on Sony, season 8 of which ended in 2014. A multitude of endorsements and a massive following on social media show the icon's popularity is intact.
Fast Fact: The UP government announced a lifelong pension of Rs 50,000 per month for Bachchan, wife Jaya and son Abhishek. The actor asked the government to redirect the amount to a charity.
