Google India has published the results of the “Year in searches”. This report explains the top search trends for 2021. In the category of most searched people, the son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has become the second most searched person in Google India.
Aryan Khan made headlines in October after he was detained by the OCN after robbing a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai. The young Khan spent several weeks in Arthur Road Prison before being released on bail in late October. Aryan stayed in the news because he had to report to the OCN office in Mumbai every Friday.
The most sought after personality in India is Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra. The 23-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the javelin throw at the Tokyo Olympics. This is the first time in 100 years that India has won an Olympic medal in athletics.
Besides Neeraj and Aryan, other celebrities are also featured in top Google searches in India. One of them is Shehnaaz Gill, who made headlines this year after the death of his close friend Sidharth Shukla. Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband, Raj Kundra, was also added to the most wanted list following his arrest in a pornography-related case. Actress Vicky Kaushal made headlines for the success of Sardar Udham and her marriage to Katrina Kaif. And Elon Musk also seems to be immensely popular in India.
