The wait is over – Time Magazine has released its highly anticipated list of the world’s 100 most influential people for 2025. Last year, Bollywood stars Aliabhatt and Shah Rukh Khan made it to the list, with Shah Rukh Khan topping it. He received 1.2 million votes for his film Pathaan.
Hollywood stars shine bright
This year’s list features Hollywood stars like Ed Sheeran, Scarlett Johansson, and Adam Scott. Other notable names include Kristen Wiig, Rashida Jones, Diego Luna, and Daniel Kaluuya.
The list is divided into different categories. For instance, Demi Moore, Adrien Brody, and Hiroyuki Sanada are included in the “Icons” section. Other sections include “Leaders” and “Innovators and Pioneers.”
Diverse range of influential people
The list isn’t just limited to celebrities. It includes people from different fields. For example, US President Donald Trump and businessman Elon Musk are among the “Leaders.”
It’s worth noting that no Indian celebrities made it to the list this year. The last time an Indian star featured in the list was in 2018 when Deepika Padukone was included. Many had hoped that some Indian celebrities would make it to the list, but it wasn’t to be.
The list is released every year, and it’s always a big deal when Indian stars are included. It’s a recognition of their global influence.
Time Magazine’s annual list is highly anticipated, and this year’s edition is no exception. The diverse range of people featured is a testament to the magazine’s commitment to highlighting influential individuals from around the world.
