Mahendra Singh Dhoni, at number two, with his immense popularity and endorsement deals, moved up from the third spot last year, switching ranks with actor Salman Khan (No. 3), who slipped to third place. They are followed by Sachin Tendulkar (No. 4), who moved up from No 6 and Amitabh Bachchan (No. 5) who retained his position, completing the top five on the list.

Cricketer Virat Kohli, 25, is the youngest celebrity to make it to the top 10 this year.

Film actors - all male, with the exception of Katrina Kaif (No. 9) - dominate the Top Ten in 2013. Kohli (No. 7), features on the cover (Virat Kohli, The Gladiator, pg. 86). At 25, Kohli has already achieved more on the cricket ?eld than most do in their entire careers. He has also brought to the sport an aggression that promises to transform the team, and for the better. That attitude coupled with remarkable skill has made this man an unconventional role model and a marketer’s delight.

Cricket is the closest competitor to Bollywood and Forbes’ fame index is testimony to that. The decision to put Virat Kohli on the cover was also motivated by the passion this sport continues to evoke in its fans.

While the Forbes India Rich List focusses on net worth, the Celebrity 100 list is arrived at by measuring money (earnings estimates) and fame. The list includes movie actors, television stars, sportspersons, authors, ?lm directors, music directors, singers and stand-up comedians. Their gross pre-tax earnings are combined with their fame scores to arrive at the Forbes India Celebrity 100 List.

Nearly a fourth of the list in 2013 comprises newcomers. The notable ones include Ravindra Jadeja (28), Shikhar Dhawan (39), Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (SEL) (52), Ranveer Singh (66), Prakash Jha (67). Navjot Singh Sidhu, the former cricketer who carved out a new career as a TV personality, also made it to the list this time, at No. 81. Kamal Haasan (47) didn’t make it to list the last year, but the controversy and success of his film Vishwaroopam ensured he was in. Sridevi, another star from Kamal Haasan’s era, also makes it to the list at 73rd spot.
