Juhi Chawla has now claimed the title of the richest actress in India, overtaking major stars like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt. According to the Hurun Rich List of 2024, Juhi’s net worth has soared to INR 46 billion (USD 580 million), placing her among the top ten wealthiest actresses globally.
Unlike her peers, Juhi hasn’t appeared in many recent blockbuster films. Instead, her impressive financial rise comes from smart business decisions and key investments. Juhi co-owns the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL team alongside Shah Rukh Khan. This partnership has proven to be a significant contributor to her fortune. Additionally, Juhi has played a pivotal role in Red Chillies Entertainment, the film production company she co-founded with Shah Rukh Khan, which has added to her growing wealth.
Juhi’s net worth now surpasses other leading actresses in Bollywood. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan follows with a net worth of INR 8.5 billion, while Priyanka Chopra stands at INR 6.5 billion. Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone rank fourth and fifth, respectively, with fortunes far below Juhi’s.
