*** Priyanka Chopra and Shraddha Kapoor also sung few songs. But Neha Kakkar's main profession is singing so that why we considered her as most followed Indian singer on Instagram.

Alia Bhatt, Jacqueline Fernandez, Akshay Kumar, and Katrina Kaif do not have Indian citizenship, but they work and live in India that why we included them in this list.
