YouGov, British International internet-based market research and data analytics firm, has issued a list of most admired personalities from across the world. Each year, YouGov conducts a poll asking people from all over the world, who they admire. Spanning 41 countries, website visitors answer the question from March to June and then the polling giant formulates the result. The people who make it to the list are very diverse as the polling is worldwide.
According to this year’s annual study, Bill Gates topped the list in men’s category and Michelle Obama in women’s category, replacing Angelina Jolie. The organization also issues a country-wise ranking of the personalities and PM Narendra Modi topped the list, globally falling in the sixth position. Along with him, two new Indian faces also made it to the list: Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. In women’s category Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai are on the list. Actress and former beauty queen Sushmita Sen also made it to the list this year.
