Asian Geographic magazine recently released a list of 100 outstanding Asian people, titled ‘Astonishing Asians’. The list contains 100 names of men and women whom the magazine deems the most influential in Asia. While one may assume many Bollywood biggies to feature on this coveted list, the names are restricted to merely two of them. Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are the only two B-town celebs who managed to secure a place in this influential list and we are so proud of them. Indian Athletes Get Rousing Send-off by Shah Rukh Khan Ahead of Para Asian Games.

Apart from Aishwarya and Shah Rukh, the other powerful names included in the list are Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, businessman and India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, economist Amartya Sen, author-activist Arundhati Roy, and billionaire entrepreneur, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw. This issue draws inspiration from influential leadership icons, philanthropic champions, business magnates, science icons, sports and cultural figures who have influenced and inspired people globally. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Janhvi Kapoor’s Stylish Outings at WIFT Awards Take the Internet by Storm – View Pics.

 

It was only recently when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was honoured with the Meryl Streep Award for her contribution in the acting field. We must say, this year is turning out to be too good for Mrs Bachchan. Coming to Shah Rukh Khan, well, he's always on the top of this world!
