Salman Khan  As his latest film, Tiger Zinda Hai, opens to encouraging reviews and numbers, Salman Khan also tops the Forbes India Celebrity 100 List, which was released today. This
is the second time in two years that the actor has grabbed the top slot. Even though his previous film, Tubelight, received a lukewarm response at the box office, Salman has managed to
retain his appeal, and earned a whopping ₹232.83 crore in 2017. ALSO READ: TIGER ZINDA HAI FIRST REVIEWS OUT, CRITICS GIVE A BIG THUMBS UP TO THE SALMAN KHAN AND KATRINA KAIF FILM On the
other hand, Shah Rukh Khan took over the second position (with ₹170.5 crore), and Indian skipper Virat Kohli (₹100.72), who has been currently making more news due to his wedding to Anushka
Sharma, was no 3 on the list. Priyanka Chopra, who made it to the seventh position, is the only woman in the top 10 slot with an earning of ₹68 crore in 2017. However, Deepika Padukone
stands at no 11 with ₹59.45 crore. Shuttler PV Sindhu (₹57.25 crore) was the highest money gainer (in percentage terms) this year in the list, as her total earnings soared nearly 17 times
following her 2016 Rio Olympics silver medal. Also, the number of Bollywood actors making to the top 100 is down from 35 to 33 this year, mainly owing to the fewer number of releases for
most of the top actors, and a not-so-encouraging year at the box office in terms of collections, barring Dangal, Baahubali 2 and Judwaa 2.
