Salman Khan TOPS the times Celebex ranking for the year 2014

In a country like ours where over a billion people are mad about a handful of stars, it is impossible to rank stars based on subjective criteria. So, in September 2012, we launched Times Celebex, a monthly rating index based on several measurable parameters, including the stars' Box Office performance, their ability to stay in the news across media, their brand endorsements and their dominance on social media. Times Celebex is a scientific and robust ranking system based on data collected from 60+ publications and 250+ TV channels, making it the first ever ranking system for Bollywood. While we report the monthly data every subsequent month, we present to you the annual compiled data for the year 2014. This data objectively ranks the stars in order of their stardom as objectively as can be done.

Salman Khan is not just the No. 1 ranking star on the list but is also the most searched star online as well as has the highest box office collections to his credit for the year. And while Big B remains the most followed star on social media, Shah Rukh Khan has the maximum brand endorsements to his credit. And no surprises for guessing that Tiger Shroff was the top newcomer of 2014.
