Can't agree re: Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal, or Savitri. Hardly anyone knows them outside south. Don't get me wrong. Mohanlal is probably one of the finest actors ever. Not just in India, but in the world. But who really knows him north of the Vindhyas?

Sridevi, Amitabh Bachchan 100%

Rajni Kanth, somewhat. Lots of people know him. Popularity outside the south? Unsure.

Same for Kamal Hassan

Rajesh Khanna. Craze was supposedly unreal.

Shahrukh Khan. Yes.

Madhuri. Somewhat. Same as Rajni Kanth, lost of people knew her back in the day in the south, but popularity? Not really.

If SriDevi is number 1 why are you Madhuri’s husband and why have you demoted your own wife to #8?

Maybe OG Dream Girl Hema Malini 🤔

Yeah, she was known even in tiny Kerala.

That’s a list I don’t know if that’s THE list

I suppose you guys are correct, Hema was popular but she never had that salary factor, both sridevi and madhuri had huge salaries for women stars, and just because a star isn't necessarily known in the north doesn't undermine their popularity, as for the comment about my username, I think Sridevi is better but Madhuri is my wife

It's funny to not see Ash on this list. She's easily one of the most popular actresses of all time.

Yo Yo Honey Singh is/was more popular than half this list.🤣

I don't even know who # 10 is.
