Priyanka Chopra only female in top 10 Indian celebrity list; Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Virat Kohli in top three
Priyanka Chopra has been breaking barriers and how! The Bollywood's desi girl is the only female to make it to the top 10 of India Celebrity 100 list, as per Forbes.
The Saat Khoon Maaf star, who raked in Rs 68 crore in 2017, stands tall at number seven. PeeCee, with her stint in English TV series Quantico and Hollywood movie Baywatch alongside Dwayne Johnson, became a global star. Now, the actor has stated recently that she will soon be working in Hindi movies, as she has finalised a few scripts.
Even though Priyanka makes her name bolder and brighter on world's entertainment map, the inclusion of female celebrity in Forbes' list sees an indicating fall. This year there are eight fewer women than last year, perhaps due to the exclusion of the 'fame' quotient, which was given substantial weightage in Forbes' previous years' computations.

On another hand, Salman Khan yet again topped the list for the second consecutive year. The Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor earned Rs 232.83 crore this year, as he's still a favourite face of several consumer-facing brands.
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, with earning worth Rs 170.5 crore, came at second position in the list, while newly-wed captain of Indian cricket team holds a position at number three with a registered income of Rs 100.72 crore.
