According to a well-placed source, Amrita Rao is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the actress' fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Rao for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 43-year-old actress, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Rao so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actress have already been named ‘Indian Of The Year’ by some major Indian newspapers and even ‘Mumbai Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Mumbai (Amrita Rao's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actress was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#RaoPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Amrita has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 21 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Amrita Rao?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 21 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Amrita Rao?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
