For the second time this year in a bi-annual leading poll, the nation’s pulse has been diagnosed, and the results are in! Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone have reignited their supremacy, claiming the top spots as India’s Number 1 Hero and Heroine in Mood of the Nation poll.

The introduction of stars from South has seen many new introductions with Sai Pallavi being on second, but the iconic ‘Piku’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ duo of Big B and Deepika Padukone remains unbeatable, echoing their February 2025 poll dominance. This poll marks a notable trend since the last survey in February 2025. Over the years, Deepika has maintained her reign on the poll and it is once again evident from the respondent’s ratings that she is ‘Number 1 Actress In The Country’.

Deepika Padukone’s unparalleled popularity has been reaffirmed, with her continued reign as the top actress, a title she’s held since 2023. Her recent successes, including the global phenomenon ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and ‘Singham Again’, have resonated with audiences and she will be next seen in Atlee’s directorial. Rashmika Mandanna took third place, and Alia Bhatt secured fourth.

As India’s leading superstar and global ambassador across avenues, Deepika Padukone has continued to make headlines globally even recently, as the first Indian juror at a major global award ceremony. With her films grossing over ₹10,000 crores globally, Deepika’s box office dominance is unmatched.
