Salman Khan tops the Times Celebex ranking for the year 2013!!

In a country like ours, where over a billion people are mad about a handful of stars, it is impossible to rank stars based on subjective criteria. So, in September 2012, we launched Times Celebex, a monthly rating index based on several measurable parameters, including the stars' Box-Office performance, their ability to stay in the news across media, their brand endorsement and their dominance on social media.

Times Celebex is a scientific and robust ranking system based on data collected from 60+ publications and 250+ TV channels, making it the first ever ranking system for Bollywood. While we report the monthly data every subsequent month, we present to you for the first time the annual compiled data for the year 2013. This data objectively ranks the stars in order of their stardom as objectively as can be done.

It's impossible to find a logical answer to why Salman Khan is the undisputed No. 1 male star of Bollywood. He is a phenomenon and the best way to explain it can only be a dialogue from his recent blockbuster 'Kick' where he says, 'Mere bare mein itna mat sochna... Dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahi.'

Be it his good looks, his popularity with the masses, him being a great and generous human being or just his style that connects, the audiences both male and female, are mad about him. Interestingly, the objective data across several parameters used in Times Celebex, has put him on the top too. Apart from Salman, we also present to you the list of the top 50 male stars in our country for the year 2013. We will present to you the data of 2014 soon after the year finishes.
