The PM currently stands in the third position with 15.8 million followers.
While Shah Rukh was earlier in the third position, he saw a rise in the number of followers in the last few days. The actor has been a lot in the news over the past week following his comment that there is "extreme intolerance" in India.
Moments after SRK reached the second spot, his fans initiated #SRK16Million to celebrate his popularity.
The Dilwale actor joined the microblogging site on January 3, 2010 and has been one of the most active B-town stars since then. Amitabh Bachchan, however, continues to lead the pack with 17.6 million followers.
