Priyanka Chopra's popularity has left even the god of cricket Sachin Tendulkar behind.

Priyanka has more number of fans and followers at least on Twitter. The Bollywood star has crossed the Little Master’s total count of 2,126,265 followers, with an impressive figure of 2,170,244 Tweeple (as she calls her fellowers).

This upsurge of fans following Priyanka on Twitter despite the cricketer creating history and becoming the first cricketer ever to score 100 international centuries.

Priyanka was surprised to know that the number of her followers surpassed Tendulkar's and said that he is a legend who has brought fame, recognition and pride to India. She also said that his popularity is immense and cricket lovers all across the world worship him and mere numbers on Twitter does not going to change the fact.

Interestingly, Priyanka has also surpassed the Khans of Bollywood in terms of followers— Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir — on the micro-blogging site.

Shah Rukh has 2,014,621 followers, while Salman Khan’s tally rounds up at 1,866,531 and Aamir’s at 1,836,647.

The only actor ahead of Priyanka is Amitabh Bachchan, who rules the marquee with 2,327,935 followers.
