Sushant Singh Rajput Yahoo's 'Most Searched' Person In 2020, Rhea Chakraborty Comes In No 3

Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was the most searched personality of 2020, according to a list released  by Yahoo India. The actor died by suicide on June 14. His girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested and later got bail in the drug-controversy that followed Rajput’s death, is on number three. She is placed on the list as the most searched female celeb of 2020. The list includes many big personalities in the country including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress' Rahul Gandhi, Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, actress Kangana Ranaut among others.

While Chakraborty is number one on this year's list of 'Most Searched Female Celebrity', actress Ranaut came second, with Deepika Padukone, Sunny Leone and Priyanka Chopra following in the list, Yahoo's 2020 Year in Review (YIR) revealed.

Rajput topped the list of 'Most Searched Male Celebrity' followed by Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Irrfan Khan, Sonu Sood and others.

Chakraborty was arrested on September 8, 2020, in a drug abuse probe linked to actor Rajput’s death case. She was accused of supplying drugs to Rajput, her boyfriend. The 28-year-old spent almost a month in judicial custody under the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) before getting bail. The Bombay High Court had granted her bail of Rs 1 lakh. Many top actresses, including Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan were among those summoned in connection with the ongoing drug case related to the death of 34-year-old actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Late actor Irrfan Khan passed away at the age of 53 on April 29 this year. He was battling cancer for almost two years. Sonu Sood, however, deserves a special mention for all the charitable work he has been doing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the 'Celebrities with Babies and Pregnancy Announcements' in the 2020 category, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli came in at the top spot.
