In India, more people Googled Prime Minister Narendra Modi this year than they did Bollywood superstars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan - in that order. However, PM Modi wasn't the most Googled - that Internet honour belongs this year to actress Sunny Leone.
Sunny Leone tops Google India's annual year-end list of most searched people, despite starring in just one film of dubious distinction, the risque supernatural thriller Ragini MMS 2. The film featured the chartbusting song Baby Doll, in the video of which Sunny Leone gyrates in various stages of undress. Ragini MMS 2 was also the most Googled Indian movie, ahead of such blockbusters as Kick, Jai Ho, Happy New Year and Bang Bang.
This is the third year in a row that Sunny has spent at the top of the search list - she was most Googled in 2012 and 2013 as well.
PM Modi occupies second place on a Bollywood-heavy list. He is followed by the above-mentioned actors who have, between them, appeared in court and hosted a reality show (Salman); ended a six-year long feud (SRK and Salman); refused to admit to a relationship while quietly moving in with her rumoured boyfriend (Katrina); conducted a vociferous war with a section of the press that tweeted an offensive picture (Deepika); played one of India's most decorated sportspeople on screen (Priyanka); and had the last laugh by starring in a hilarious spoof video (Alia).
At ninth position on the list is model-actress Poonam Pandey, best known for having threatened to celebrate India's World Cup win in 2010 by stripping naked.
Cricketer Virat Kohli, who has had an eventful year both on and off the pitch, was the tenth most Googled person in India this year.
