It’s not far off the mark to say the 21^st century, India witnessed the birth of two religions: Bollywood and Cricket. Being modern religions, they don’t need temples, citadels, or churches for their propagation. However, audiovisual media and modern electronics are being used instead. As Bollywood and Cricket are all the rage, of course, such overwhelming success has been created by humans. People who work in these industries are true stars and when it comes to the brand value, one of the most questions is that who will top the list?

India’s most valuable celebrity endorser

When many people think Bollywood stars will be the toppers, yes, they are right but not 100%.
