Popular singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has topped the UK list of the 'Top 50 Asian Celebrities in the World' previewed in London on Wednesday, following his mega live tour and box-office success. The 40-year-old Punjabi star dethroned last year⁘s topper, Shah Rukh Khan, and ranked ahead of international talent from the world of cinema, television, music, arts and literature celebrated in the 2024 edition of the list published by UK weekly Eastern Eye on Friday.
⁘His history-making performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon broke new ground for Indian music. In between all the musical magic, the multi-talented star showed off his impressive acting ability in films and proudly promoted his Punjabi culture. Everybody was talking about him in what turned out to be a dream year,⁘ he said.
Indian heritage pop superstar Charli XCX came in second, narrowly missing out on the top spot, for an incredible year that included sold out live performances, seven Grammy nominations and her now iconic Brat album, which spawned a huge global movement. While third-placed Allu Arjun smashed box-office records with the year⁘s most successful Indian film Pushpa 2: The Rule and significantly changed the cinema landscape in his country, fourth-placed Dev Patel confirmed his place as a Hollywood power player by remarkably writing, directing, producing and starring in the hit film Monkey Man.
Australian actress Geraldine Viswanathan, Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and British actress Simone Ashley complete the top 10 for the year. The oldest star in the list is once again 82-year-old Amitabh Bachchan and the youngest, aged 17, is actress Nitanshi Goel for her impressive performance in India⁘s official Oscar entry Laapataa Ladies.
