Juhi Chawla has officially become India’s richest actress, amassing a net worth of INR 46 billion (USD 580 million) and surpassing prominent stars like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt. This remarkable achievement places her among the top ten wealthiest actresses in the world, according to the Hurun Rich List of 2024.
Despite not having a major film hit in recent years, Juhi’s financial success is largely attributed to her savvy business ventures. She co-owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders with her long-time friend and business partner Shah Rukh Khan, and her production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, has been instrumental in building her wealth.
In contrast, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan holds a net worth of INR 8.5 billion, followed by Priyanka Chopra at INR 6.5 billion. Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone rank fourth and fifth, respectively.
Juhi’s strategic investments in real estate, along with her husband Jay Mehta’s family fortune, have positioned her well ahead of her peers, solidifying her status as a formidable financial force in Bollywood.
