    Newly-weds Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal clocked in at No 9 in the annual Power Couples survey released by the Indian Institute of Human Brands (IIHB) in Mumbai. The Ambanis of Reliance, Mukesh and Nita, topped the rankings with a 94% score followed by Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh) who scored 86% taking second place, while Indian captain Virat Kohli  and his actor wife Anushka Sharma got a 79% score for third place. The survey covered a sample size of 1362 respondents (M=761, F=601) spread nationally, in the age group 25-40 years.

     

    Said Dr Sandeep Goyal, Chief Mentor, IIHB: “The last time around we did not include any corporates or business couples in our list. But the research team at IIHB felt that the rankings should include Power Couples from all walks of life; hence business couples were added this time around to the list, and they seem to have done very well in the rankings. Last year DeepVeer and Virushka were neck & neck in the rankings,” adding: “The inclusion of couples beyond films/entertainment and sports has made the Power Couples list more comprehensive and more representative.We also included a large list of celebrities from the South too – Dhanush & Aishwarya, Jyothika-Suriya, Namrata Shirodkar-Mahesh Babu:, Sneha-Prasanna, Samantha Ruth Prabhu-Naga Chaitanya:, Bhavna-Naveen, Ambareesh & Sumalatha, Ajith & Shalini, Khushboo & Sundar C, Hahadh Fazil & Nazriya Nazim, Suhasini & Maniratnam, Vijay & Sangeetha – but in an all-India sample none of them made the Top 20, though in the South most of them beat the national celebrity couples.”
