From posting early-morning selfies with their exotic cats to posing in breathtakingly-expensive designer clothes, these Bollywood celebrities live a life that the millions of ordinary Indians who follow them can only aspire to.

While Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, who have 3 million followers each on Instagram, use the platform like the pros they are, actors Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, stars on Twitter, are still figuring out the photo-sharing website.
