Neither Alia, nor Aishwarya, nor Priyanka Chopra, this 90s actress is India’s richest actress.

Talking about India’s richest actress, Alia Bhatt might be in your mind. Deepika Padukone Or surely Priyanka Chopra’s name comes up. But here you are wrong and you will be surprised to know that with these new names it is not just any name but India’s richest actress is the star of the 90s.

You will also be surprised to know that since 2009, he/she has not had any box office semi-hit film in his/her name. Despite this, he/she is much richer than today’s top stars.

Did not give even a single hit film after 2009

That period was in the 90s when Indian actors had crossed the Rs 1 crore fee mark for a film. Soon, big stars became the faces of many advertisements and money started flowing like water. Many actors, along with acting, also dabbled in the world of business and became millionaires. Therefore, it is no surprise that India’s richest actress is included in the list of top 10 richest actresses in the world. The surprising thing is that the actress has not given a single hit film in the last decade.

Business partner second after Shahrukh Khan

Juhi Chawla has been described as the richest actress of India. In fact, according to Hurun Rich List of 2024, if we talk about the richest Indian actors, his/her wealth is said to be second only to his/her friend and business partner Shahrukh Khan. According to Hurun, Juhi’s net worth is around Rs 4600 crore ($580 million), which is much more than any of her fellow actors or juniors.

Aishwarya is at second place and Priyanka Chopra is at third place.

Even if the total wealth of the five richest Indian actresses after Juhi is put together, it will prove to be less than her wealth. After Juhi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is in second position, whose net worth is said to be more than $100 million (approximately ₹ 850 crore). Priyanka Chopra is at the third position with a net worth of around ₹ 650 crore due to her brand and film production company and Hollywood films. Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone are also among the top 5 actresses, who have become businesswomen along with acting.

A large part of his/her wealth comes from his/her business investments.

It is not that the source of Juhi Chawla’s wealth is only cinema. She was one of the top actors in the 90s. Juhi’s last box office average film was the 2009 film (Luck by Chance). According to reports, the budget of this film was Rs 15 crore and the collection was Rs 29 crore. The film was average, but received praise from critics. A large part of his/her wealth comes from his/her business investments. Apart from being a part of Red Tilly’s Group, Juhi is the co-producer and co-owner of cricket teams (including IPL’s Kolkata Knight Riders). Apart from all this, it is said that she also owns a lot of real estate and jointly invests in other businesses with her millionaire businessman husband Jai Mehta.
