Juhi Chawla Tops Rich List as India's Wealthiest Actress with ₹4,600 Crore Net Worth

According to the 2024 Hurun India Rich List, Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla has emerged as the richest actress in India, boasting a net worth of ₹4,600 crore. She ranks among the top 10 self-made women in India and is the second wealthiest actor in the country, following Shah Rukh Khan, who has a net worth exceeding ₹7,000 crore.

Chawla's impressive wealth is partly attributed to her co-ownership of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL team, alongside her husband Jay Mehta and actor Shah Rukh Khan. KKR's valuation is approximately $1.1 billion (around ₹9,139 crore), according to Forbes.

Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta, who live in Mumbai's upscale Malabar Hills, lead a luxurious lifestyle with an impressive collection of vehicles including an Aston Martin Rapide, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Jaguar XJ, and Porsche Cayenne.

In the 2024 Hurun India Rich List, Chawla is ranked sixth among self-made women, following Neha Narkhede and family, who have a net worth of ₹4,900 crore, and preceding former PepsiCo CEO Indra K. Nooyi, who has ₹3,900 crore. The list also highlights other notable figures such as Radha Vembu, Falguni Nayar, Jayshree Ullaal, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw.

Juhi Chawla first gained prominence after winning the Miss India beauty pageant in 1984 and made her film debut with a small role in Sultanat (1986). Her breakthrough came with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She became one of the leading actresses of the 90s with hits like Lootere, Aaina, Darr, and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. Despite her marriage, she continued to act in films such as Des Hoyaa Pardes (2004), Jhankaar Beats (2003), and My Brother Nikhil (2005), maintaining her status in the industry.
