Now you read a news like this and you feel shocked..." how is it possible' !!!!

considering that there are 0.1 bn English speaking population in India and rest wont even know about Tom Cruise let alone he be popular among them. So while Tom has just 0.1bn out of 1bn Indian population SRK has a huge base of 1bn in india itself.

Then you have all the south east Asian countries who would know SRK . but TC.. i don't think so.. add to that the india diaspora spread across the world.... you have a pretty big number of srk fans...!!

But you need to give credit where its due. Undoubtedly SRK has worked a lot on marketing himself on every possible stage... He goes to cricket world cups.. waves around.. shown on camera with more than 2 bn people watching all over the world.. u are deemed to be popular.. He does so many stage shows in Dubai.. London..Singapore...US.!! u can't deny the fact that the guy has worked a lot on marketing himself and his image all over the world and probably that does make him special to able to attract such a big number.

Well.. let him be the Biggest Star of Indian Cinema (if not the best actor :P )
