There are a lot of examples of Bollywood exerting its influence across different realms of popular culture including fashion, entertainment. The world's biggest film industry has captured the attentions of people around the world but has grown beyond being merely a film movement to a pop cultural movement based on the colors, vibrance and confidence of modern Indian society.
Bollywood's biggest stars are revered by India's populace, therefore it is unsurprising that everything they do and say catches on in a big way.
