Who else is surprised? I know I was when I found out that in this millennial world someone over 65 would top the list of Most liked pages on Facebook in India. But, to be fair, his social campaigns have been outstanding. Not only in India but abroad as well and some even say he won the elections because of his social presence. Way to connect with the youth PM.
How some other pages have more likes but they belong either to teams or some website. Here’s the proper list of Most popular pages on Facebook (India)
To everyone’s surprise, popular celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, MS Dhoni and Hrithik Roshan are not on the list. They all are close to 15-20 Million likes and couldn’t make the top 10 list.
