While we know that actors such as Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan often make it to Forbes’ Top 10 lists – most influential, highest paid actor, richest people – we’ve rarely seen women in those ranks, let alone an Indian celebrity. Until now that is.<\/p>\n

The 52 year old Khan Salman cemented his claim to the throne with his successful movies\u00a0Ek Tha Tiger<\/em> and Race 3, <\/em>as well as a raft of endorsements from several consumer brands.<\/p>\n
