Celebrities live a life that most of us can only dream of. Their elite parties, exquisite collection of designer dresses and their trips to different places make us want to know everything they’ve been upto. And thanks to social media, it is now possible for fans to get their share of the pie with a single click. Apps like Instagram have made it very easy for celebrities to share their personal moments with their fans and it’s hard to deny that the double tap has become a part of the fans’ lives too.
As 2015 comes to a wrap, we take a look at the most followed Bollywood celebrities on Instagram this year and the reasons behind it.
#1 Deepika Padukone
Followers on Instagram: 4.9 million
The strikingly unbeatable Deepika Padukone has always charmed people with her sophistication and style. This Bollywood diva is the most popular Bollywood celebrity on Instagram in 2015 and it’s all thanks to the two big releases (Tamasha and Bajirao Mastani) and many promotion rounds. And we don’t feel it’s just the movies, beau Ranveer Singh also has a very important role to play in making her this popular. Their picture-perfect love story keeps the fans wanting to see more of them, all the time. She has hailed 4.9 million followers and her fan following seems to be increasing day by day.

Next in line is the young and vibrant Alia Bhatt giving a tough competition to many longstanding Bollywood actors. Her early morning selfies and her style quotient have made her an inspiration among the youth. In spite of her much publicised movie Shaandaar bombing at the box office, her Instagram following seems to be going strong.This bubbly actor is the second most popular star with 4.3 million followers on Instagram.

#6 Sonam Kapoor
Followers on Instagram: 3.5 million
Just a little short of her BFF, Sonam Kapoor secures the fifth spot with 3.5 million followers on Instagram. This B-town fashionista always stays in the limelight for her outfits but we must add that her Instagram feed has seen more Dubsmash videos than clothes this year owing to her Prem Ratan Dhan Payo promotions.
