Dhaka film actress Pori Moni has officially become the most-followed Bangladeshi celebrity on Facebook, surpassing the long-standing record held by national cricket team star Shakib Al Hasan. The milestone marks a significant shift in the country’s digital influence landscape, as the actress has steadily expanded her social media footprint to claim the top spot.

While the two figures maintained nearly identical follower counts throughout much of last year, a recent surge in engagement propelled Pori Moni ahead of the cricketer. As of Monday morning, data from their respective official pages shows Pori Moni commanding an audience of over 17 million followers, while Shakib Al Hasan’s count stands at more than 16 million. This 1-million-follower lead consolidates the actress’s position as the primary influencer among the nation’s public figures.

The two celebrities display markedly different approaches to their digital presence. Shakib Al Hasan maintains a highly curated profile, following only six accounts, including fellow cricketers Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, and Rubel Hossain, as well as Argentine football icon Lionel Messi, his own charitable foundation, and the Fortune Barishal cricket franchise.

In contrast, Pori Moni utilizes a more expansive social media strategy. Her list of 161 followed accounts features a diverse array of global and local personalities, ranging from Bangladeshi stars like Shakib Khan and Shabnur to international celebrities including Hrithik Roshan, Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif, Morgan Freeman, and Taylor Swift. This extensive connectivity reflects the actress’s broader engagement style compared to the athlete’s more minimalist digital footprint.
