On the film front, Priyanka was recently seen in the Hindi film “The Sky is Pink.” She is currently shooting for Netflix’s “The White Tiger” along with RajKummar Rao.

Priyanka has been named as the top star of Indian cinema and television series in 2019 in a list released by IMDb, in which Bollywood superstar Salman Khan secured sixth position. IMDb on Thursday released the list of 2019 top 10 stars.

Actress Disha Patani is on second spot, followed by Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, Akshay Kumar, Salman, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Rakul Preet Singh and Sobhita Dhulipala.

IMDb determines the list using data from IMDbPro STARmeter rankings, which are based on the actual page views of the more than 200 million monthly IMDb visitors. “IMDb’s authoritative information on Indian titles and celebrities has grown dramatically in the past few years, and people around the world now turn to IMDb to learn more about Indian cinema, television series and stars,” said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro.

“As this interest has grown, IMDbPro STARmeter rankings have become the definitive reflection of global popularity and a predictor of breakthrough career moments,” Kumin added.
