It found that 63% of India’s leading Instagram influencers operate in the entertainment category, while its subsets – sports, lifestyle, cinema, and actors – gained the maximum traction in 2020. According to the data mapped, power couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are currently enjoying royalty status as influencers. While cricketing sensation Kohli has the highest number of followers at 83.7 million, Bollywood queen Anushka boasts of the greatest engagement rate in the country, surpassing even PM Narendra Modi. Others on the list of top 10 Instagram influencers are Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Neha Kakkar, Jaqueline Fernandez, Akshay Kumar, and Katrina Kaif. Amongst numerous noteworthy findings, the platform also found that a majority of the top 1000 influencers in India were women. In fact, women rule the top 1K Instagram influencers and beat men by almost 50% more in numbers. Further, the total unduplicated reach of all women Instagram influencers was found to be a whopping 1700 million, while that of men was 1200 million.

This is a change that each of us has the power to make – by speaking out honestly about menstruation, taking personal action in our own spaces towards it and walking the talk in putting our financial support towards those who need this help the most. Shame-free periods, safe menstrual products and accurate menstrual education is not a womens’ cause – it is a human cause.” Shraddha Kapoor, Brand Ambassador, The Body Shop India said, “It gives me immense joy to lend my voice for an issue that is so close to my heart. Period shame is deeply rooted in our upbringing and there is no better time than now to question its existence. Most Indian girls feel uncomfortable in talking about periods openly and this leads to lack of awareness of menstrual health in women. Along with The Body Shop, I pledge to contribute to this noble cause in every possible way that I can, small or big. I request you all to make a pledge, donate what you can and help create real change by ending period shame together.” On their partnership with The Body Shop India, Puja Marwaha, CEO, Child Rights and You (CRY) said, “Field experiences gathered by CRY suggest that periods is a major reason behind girls dropping out of schools – a fact that is echoed by the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) data which indicates that only 57% of adolescent girls between 15-19 years are blessed with any hygienic form of protection during their menstrual cycles. CRY is delighted to partner with The Body Shop, and together we intend to create social awareness about menstrual hygiene, and at the same time, attempt to amplify voices demanding the access to free and quality sanitary napkins, safe disposal mechanisms, functional toilets and regular awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene. We both strongly believe that awareness is the key to break the taboo and shame related to periods in our society.”

Media and paparazzi love covering <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> celebrities, but off lately, they have been boycotting celebs who display bad behaviour or pricey attitude. Let’s take a look at stars who have been boycotted by the press. 
 
<keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword> 
During the promotional event of his last release Kick that Salman Khan’s bodyguards had a spat with photographers and the actor showed no sympathy. To make matters worse, he passed an apparently rude statement, “Those who want to cover the event are welcome to stay, the rest can leave if they wish." Naturally, this didn’t go down well with media, which decided to boycott the star till the release of the film. 
 
<keyword id="89958" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shraddha-Kapoor">Shraddha Kapoor</keyword> 
According to reports, Aashiqui 2 actress allegedly made a group of photographers wait for two long hours and then finally refused to pose for photographs. This was after her last release Ek Villain became a hit. Though her father Shakti Kapoor came to her rescue but the media had already decided to ban her. The boycott continued till Shraddha personally met with the union of photographers and sorted the matter before the promotions of her upcoming movie, Haider began. 
 
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan 
The royal couple faced the ire of media way back in 2010, when they reached at a promotional event quite late. Though Saif came up with an apology citing traffic as the reason for being late, but the journalists and photographers chose to walk away from the event without covering it. 
 
<keyword id="6357912" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="amitabh-bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword> 
Even the mega star Amitabh Bachchan wasn’t spared by the press. He faced media ban at a time which was the high point of Amitabh Bachchan’s career; this was when he was churning out hits after hits like Sharabi, Lawaaris and Deewar to name a few. The fact was recently revealed by Big B on his blog, in which he wrote that the ban came because the press apparently believed some sources, who claimed that Bachchan had supported the idea of Emergency and ban on press. During that period, media stringently decided to not cover AB in interviews, pictures and or news.
