Pori Moni surpasses Shakib Al Hasan to top spot

Actress Pori Moni has set a new milestone in the number of Facebook followers among the country’s popular celebrities.

She now has the most Facebook followers, surpassing cricketer Shakib Al Hasan, who has been at the top of the list for a long time.

Currently, Pori Moni has more than 17 million Facebook followers. On the other hand, Shakib Al Hasan has more than 16 million followers.

As a result, the actress is now at the top of the list of Bangladeshi stars in terms of the number of followers on social media Facebook. However, the statistics of her acting career paint a different picture.

Although Pori Moni has starred in about two dozen films in her nearly 12-year career, none of them have been commercially successful. However, she has always been in the spotlight due to her personal life, active presence on social media, and various controversial incidents.

According to film insiders, one of the major reasons for Pori Moni’s popularity is her regular presence on social media. She shares various moments from her personal life, travels, children’s growth, photo shoots, news of new work, or small experiences of daily life with her followers. As a result, she has developed a close relationship with her fans.

This is reflected in her recent posts. Last Sunday, she posted a video of her daughter’s murder and wrote in the caption, ‘Sajuni Buri Dekhun’. It was accompanied by a love emoji. In just 22 hours, the video received more than 78,000 reactions, nearly 2,000 comments, and nearly 1.5 million views.

The exchange of top positions between Pori Moni and Shakib Al Hasan in terms of Facebook followers is not new. For the first time, their number of followers was almost equal about three years ago.

Later, Shakib moved ahead again in August 2023. Within a few months, both of them reached the milestone of 16 million followers.

However, recently, Pori Moni has increased the gap and now occupies the top position alone.
