Juhi Chawla becomes is celebrated as the richest actress of India, reports Times of India.
According to the Hurun Rich List of 2024, her wealth ranks just behind that of her friend and business partner Shah Rukh Khan among the richest Indian actors.
With a net worth of Rs 4,600 crore, Juhi's fortune significantly surpasses that of her peers and juniors.
If you accumulate five actresses’ wealth together who are following her in the list, it would still be less than her wealth.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan holds the second spot, with a net worth exceeding $100 million (approximately Rs 850 crore). Priyanka Chopra follows in third, boasting a wealth of Rs 650 crore from her brands, film production-company, and Hollywood projects. Rounding out the top five are current stars Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, both of whom have significant business ventures.
While Juhi Chawla’s wealth originates from her film career, it's only part of the story. Although she was a leading star in the 90s, her last box office hit was in 2009 with Luck By Chance. The majority of her fortune comes from her business ventures, particularly her significant role in the Red Chillies Group.
As a co-founder, Juhi co-produces films and co-owns several cricket teams, including the IPL's Kolkata Knight Riders. Additionally, she has a substantial real estate portfolio and various investments alongside her millionaire businessman husband, Jay Mehta.
