Looks like nobody has bothered to check facts!

Or is Germany the whole world? 😆

Raj Kapoor was the biggest Indian actor abroad. Craze in Russia, China and many other European countries. Amitabh Bachchan is a religion in Egypt, Israel, West Indies and was extremely popular in Russia, Indonesia and UK also. Indonesians have even made a film on his name, a story about a little boy who is his big fan and wants to go to India to meet him. Rajinikanth is a cult in Japan and Taiwan. Aamir Khan is extremely popular in China, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea. Mithun is popular in Russia and in Japan he has a temple dedicated to him. Rajesh Khanna used to be very popular in Spain. Dharmendra was a cult in Nigeria and even his under performers like The Burning Train became huge hits there. Salman Khan is popular in Middle East.

It's a fallacy that only SRK made Bollywood global.

Infact it was YRF that did by expanding their distribution. And they thought of tapping overseas market after tremendous success of Silsila and Lamhe abroad.

Raj Kapoor has been making it to global lists before SRK was even born. So much for nobody knowing Raj Kapoor outside India!

Guess some people never look beyond their burrows.


BTW, overseas collections of pre 90s films were not mapped extensively. So collections cannot be compared. And as of last few years, Aamir's movies make more than anyone else overseas and only 1 of them is a YRF film, otherwise he made it without YRF which has amazing penetration in international market.

Lastly, Amitabh Bachchan received the same award last year, so it is a given how other global icons exist besides SRK.

Hmm look like you didn't like the fact that SRK won Global icon of the year 😆 Anyways SRK is no.1 and no one can change this fact 😃 😳

Anyways how are you so sure that these people you just mentioned are Known very much in Japan and korea , Malaysia etc Did you measured their exact popularity there ??

SRK was also announced biggest movie Star in the world by BBC in 2011 ..Check out his wiki ..He is known as the biggest movie Star of Bollywood outside India ⭐️

And UK newspaper The Independent called Amitabh Bachchan the biggest star in the world recently. Some years ago the same phrase was used for Ash by a French newspaper. And earlier an American magazine had used same words for Madhubala.

Makes no difference.

Amitabh Bachchan won Greatest Star of the Millennium poll by BBC beating all other global stars in 1999.

These things are common to certain huge stars we have.

I am sure because I have read about the stars I mentioned in previous post. In past, on same forum I have given links also as proof. 😆

You're talking as if no other actor had any fame and facts about them are lies!

I am not denying SRK deserves this award. I only challenged the claim that he is the only one known abroad and no one knows other stars, or "only" he made Bollywood global. He is one of them but not the "only" one. That's all.

Did I ever said other BW stars are not popular ? Obviously they are popular But SRK is the most popular there is a difference there 😃

I said he is known more than any other BW star Globally ...I didn't said he is the only one ..there is a difference 😃
