The hashtag has been 'hijacked' by Rajput's massive fanbase
In recent months, we have frequently seen the power of Rajput's following, as the Kai Po Che! actor trended online for multiple reasons. While other actors were nominated initially, but Rajput's name is all you can see, no matter how far you scroll in the hashtag. The only person competing close to the late actor is K-pop band BTS member, V or Kim Tae-hyung.

Among the other Indian nominees, Shah Rukh Khan, Sonu Sood, and former Bigg Boss contestant Sidharth Shukla dominated the current trends.
