The Baadshah is back. At 50, Shah Rukh Khan continues to rule India’s celebrity index. After slipping to No 3 last year, he has wrested back the No 1 position on the 2015 Forbes India Celebrity 100 list from Salman Khan. Shah Rukh made the most amount of money this year—a whopping Rs 257.5 crore. This is the highest any celebrity has ever made in the four years since the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list was instituted; in fact, his earnings are 9 percent of the total wealth of the top 100 celebrities this year—Rs 2,819 crore.
