Shocking: Not Deepika or Priyanka, This 90s Actress is India's Richest with ₹4,600 Crore Net Worth!
When one thinks of the richest people in India, names like Ambani and Adani are immediately mentioned. Even those with a good knowledge of cinema can readily list the wealthiest male actors. However, when it comes to the richest actresses, even cinema lovers might not have an answer ready. The discussion around actresses' assets and remunerations isn't as prevalent, which is why the Hurun India Rich List has released a list of the wealthiest actresses in the country, announcing the asset values of the top 5. Let's look at the details now.
Juhi Chawla
According to the Hurun Rich List, Bollywood star Juhi Chawla is the richest actress in the country. She surpassed stars like Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Deepika Padukone to claim the top spot, an outcome few might have predicted. The survey states that her assets are valued at ₹4,600 crores. Juhi Chawla shone as a leading Bollywood actress in the 1990s and was crowned Miss India in 1984. Though she has stepped back from leading roles due to her age, Juhi has been seen in guest roles over the last decade. Besides cinema, Juhi Chawla is involved in various businesses, including partnerships in Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and the Kolkata Knight Riders. Her husband, Jay Mehta, is a prominent businessman, and Juhi also participates in family business ventures.
Aishwarya Rai
Former star actress Aishwarya Rai stands second in the list of the wealthiest actresses, with her assets valued at ₹860 crores by the survey. Her wealth surpasses many male actors. Recently, Aishwarya has taken on significant roles in movies; she reportedly charged ₹15 crores for her role in ‘Ponniyin Selvan.’ She charges around ₹6-7 crores per day for brand endorsements and currently works with multiple international brands. Her marriage to Amitabh Bachchan's son has also enhanced her goodwill and market value.
Priyanka Chopra
Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra has clinched the third position in this list. The Hurun Rich List survey reveals her assets amount to ₹650 crores. Priyanka has settled in Hollywood, appearing in movies and series like ‘Citadel,’ earning substantial remuneration. She has also started her production company, Purple Pebble Pictures, and invests in ventures like the dating app Bumble and the hair care company Anomaly. Besides, she endorses several international brands, significantly boosting her earnings.
Alia Bhatt
Bollywood star beauty Alia Bhatt, with assets worth ₹550 crores, is fourth on the list. She commands remuneration of over ₹20 crores per movie, equaling her male counterparts in Bollywood in terms of popularity. Alongside acting, Alia is also building her business empire. She launched a startup, Ed-a-Mamma, catering to children aged 2 to 14, during her pregnancy. The company offers over 800 products through its website and has grown tenfold in a year to a valuation of ₹150 crores. Additionally, Alia has invested in brands like Nykaa, Fool.co, and StyleCracker. She married Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor on April 14, 2022, and they have a daughter named Raha.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone ranks in the top-5 richest actresses in India, with her assets valued at ₹500 crores according to the survey. She demands between ₹15-30 crores per film and earns millions promoting various beauty products. Recently, Deepika entered the home furnishing business, investing in the American company Pottery Barn, and runs her self-care brand, '82 East'. She has also turned producer, producing successful films like ‘Chhapaak’ under her own banner.

From Child Artist to National Award Winner: Keerthy Suresh's Inspiring Journey in Cinema
Keerthy Suresh is one of those actresses who prioritizes acting over beauty. Belonging to the Tamil industry, she has also gained significant popularity in Telugu films. Her role as Savitri in the movie 'Mahanati' was phenomenal, earning her a National Award. However, her film career has seen many interesting twists and turns. Today (October 17), on the occasion of Keerthy Suresh's birthday, let's look into some special aspects of her life.
As a Child Artist
The daughter of actors Suresh Kumar and Menaka, Keerthy Suresh sparkled as a child artist in the Malayalam film 'Pilots'. She also appeared as a child artist in the films 'Achaneyanenikkishtam' and 'Kuberan'.
Mother as Chiru’s Heroine.. Daughter as Sister
In Chiranjeevi's film 'Punnami Naagu', Keerthy's mother Menaka acted as the heroine. Recently, in the movie 'Bhola Shankar', Keerthy played the significant role of Chiranjeevi's sister. Despite the film not doing well, their performances as siblings were well-received. During the shoot in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi mentioned during movie promotions that he ensured home-cooked meals were sent to Keerthy throughout the filming.
Stalled Projects at the Beginning
Keerthy Suresh began her career as a heroine with the film 'Geethanjali', starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. However, even before this, she had signed three projects as a heroine, which had also started shooting. Unexpectedly, these three projects were halted midway, leading to great disappointment for her, as she mentioned in an interview.
Tagged as Iron Leg
Early in her career, the halting of three projects, and the failure of films like 'Geethanjali' and 'Ring Master' in Malayalam, and her first Tamil film 'Idhu Enna Maayam' being a disaster, Keerthy was tagged as an 'Iron Leg'. She faced significant trolling but ignored it and went on to succeed in films, establishing herself as a successful heroine.
Turning Point with Mahanati
Her first Telugu film 'Nenu Sailaja' was a success, which increased her opportunities in Tollywood and Kollywood. Despite being in commercial films, she felt unfulfilled as an actress until 'Mahanati' came along. Her portrayal of Savitri was critically acclaimed, earning her the National Award for Best Actress and becoming an inspiration to other actresses. Her career graph significantly rose after 'Mahanati'.
Series of Failures
Post-'Mahanati', it was believed that Keerthy's career would have no downturns, and she did receive a series of offers. However, subsequent films like 'Saamy Square', 'Pandem kodi 2', 'Rang De', and 'Annaatthe' failed to meet audience expectations. Her women-oriented films 'Penguin', 'Miss India', and 'Good Luck Sakhi' also failed to make an impact.
Director's Intent to Cast Keerthy
Following last year's release 'Dasara', which was a massive success, Keerthy made a strong comeback. Directed by Srikanth Odela with Nani as the hero, the film grossed over 100 crores and received widespread praise for Keerthy's performance. She excelled in the role of Vennela, a rural woman, and received awards like SIIMA and Filmfare for Best Actress. However, it was revealed during movie promotions that director Srikanth Odela initially planned to cast Keerthy as the heroine for 'Dasara' after narrating the movie story and suggested she gain 10-12 kilograms, which she couldn't. Nani mentioned that Odela decided to cast her despite her not being able to gain weight, highlighting that even though he was a debut director and she was a National Award-winning actress, they ended up becoming good friends on the movie sets.

Keerthy’s Special Talent
Not just her face, Keerthy Suresh's voice is also beautiful. Directors have capitalized on her melodious voice, having her sing beautifully the song 'Pudhu Metro Rail' in 'Saamy Square'. She also recently lent her voice to the character of Bujji Vehicle in 'Kalki 2898 AD' and proved her dancing skills with the 'Gandhaari' album.
This Year into Bollywood
Having already entertained this year with 'Siren' and 'Raghu Thatha', Keerthy is busy with upcoming projects like 'Revolver Reeta', 'Kannivedi', and 'Uppu Kappurambu'. She is set to enter Bollywood with 'Baby John'. In an instance, she mentioned that the roles of Savitri (Mahanati), Vennela (Dasara), and Kalavathi (Sarkaru Vaari Paata) were challenging in her career.

Sobhita emphasized her respect for the culture and traditions her parents follow, wishing for her own significant events to occur in their presence. Given this, Akkineni fans expect her wedding with Chaitanya to also be a simple affair.
'I saw that love in Chaitu'
After her engagement, Sobhita shared poetic and captivating posts about her relationship with actor Naga Chaitanya. In a recent interview, she revealed the reason behind such posts. "I am a huge fan of Sangam literature (an ancient name for Tamil literature), and the poetry I included in my post is something I've read in the past. It's very poetic and straightforward, touching the hearts of those who read it. That's why it holds a special place in my heart.

Samantha: Similarities to the Life of Legendary Actress Savitri?
It is well known that Tollywood actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and star heroine Samantha got married in 2017 and separated in 2021 due to disagreements. Three years later, Naga Chaitanya is ready to remarry, this time to actress Sobhita Dhulipala. In this context, netizens are sympathizing with Samantha, intertwining her current situation and past incidents with the life of the legendary actress Savitri. They are drawing parallels between Sam's life and that of Savitri, posting about it extensively. Let’s explore what these posts are suggesting.
What’s the Connection Between Samantha and Savitri’s Life?
In 2021, during her divorce from Naga Chaitanya, Samantha was heavily targeted by the public. However, now that Chaitanya is preparing for his second marriage, netizens are expressing their sympathy towards Samantha on a large scale, comparing her situation with that of Savitri, who was a celebrated actress. At the peak of her cinema career, Savitri’s life was influenced by the already married actor Gemini Ganesan. By that time, Ganesan’s career was moderate compared to Savitri’s. Savitri, deeply in love, married Ganesan but later found him intimately involved with another woman. Unable to bear the betrayal, she fell into depression and became dependent on alcohol, which led to numerous health issues and prematurely ended her career. Netizens speculate that Samantha might have undergone a similar ordeal? They suggest that these struggles drove Samantha to divorce Chaitanya.

Samantha was heavily criticized for her bold roles in films, which some claimed were the reason for her divorce. Now, there’s a keen interest in Sobhita's screen presence as Naga Chaitanya prepares to marry her.

Recently, in 'The Monkey Man', Sobhita was again seen in bold portrayals. This has led to questions about why Naga Chaitanya would divorce Samantha for being bold in her roles, only to marry Sobhita, who has portrayed even bolder scenes.

Bhagyashri Borse's Meteoric Rise: From 'Mr. Bachchan' Flop to Starring with Ram, Dulquer, and Vijay Deverakonda!
Young beauty Bhagyashri Borse's name has recently been echoing in Tollywood. Despite her first Telugu film Mr. Bachchan failing at the box office, her performance received praise. Recently, she joined a pan-India project with Dulquer Salmaan, proving that her popularity remains intact. Now, she has bagged another big offer, leaving everyone surprised. Film circles are buzzing about her gradual rise in Tollywood, potentially reaching the top heroine status.
As the Heroine Opposite Ram
Energetic star Ram Pothineni will star in a film being planned by the prominent production house Mythri Movie Makers. This movie, with the working title RAPO22, will be directed by Mahesh of Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty fame. The production house has announced that Bhagyashri Borse has been selected as the female lead for the film. A special poster was released, with the team stating that "the recent sensation Bhagyashri joining the project adds more charm to it." More details about the film are expected to be revealed on Thursday, November 21. The production house has also announced that the shooting will begin with a pooja ceremony on the same day.
https://twitter.com/DQsWayfarerFilm/status/1833013939837276196
Ram's Hopes on 'RAPO22'
RAPO22 marks Ram's 22nd film. Following the pooja ceremony on Thursday, November 21, regular shooting will begin shortly. The movie is said to be a high-energy, new-age story. Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar are producing the film under Mythri Movie Makers. Ram has pinned a lot of hopes on this project, as he has not delivered a solid hit in a while. His previous films, Red, The Warrior, Skanda, and Double iSmart, were disappointments at the box office. With RAPO22, the energetic star aims to deliver a hit that will delight his fans. On the other hand, after the failure of Mr. Bachchan, this film's success is crucial for Bhagyashri Borse as well.

Unshaken Popularity Despite a Flop
Bhagyashri Borse's name trended significantly during the release of Mr. Bachchan. Ever since her selection as the lead actress, she has been grabbing attention on social media. When the first song from the movie was announced, her visuals left fans mesmerized. However, with the unexpected failure of Mr. Bachchan, all expectations took a hit. Facing such a drastic failure with her debut film, she slowed down her social media presence. Recently, she proved her popularity hadn't waned by being selected as the heroine in Kaantha. While working on that film, she surprised everyone by bagging another exciting opportunity alongside Ram.

Pan-India Film with Dulquer
Bhagyashri Borse is starring opposite Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan in the film Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj of Neela fame. The project was announced on Dulquer’s birthday, and a pooja ceremony was held a few weeks ago. Bhagyashri, dressed elegantly in a saree, attended the event, earning praise for her looks. Fans took to social media to congratulate her on bagging such a significant opportunity. The film is jointly produced by Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media, with Rana Daggubati playing a key role.
https://twitter.com/DQsWayfarerFilm/status/1833013939837276196
With Vijay Deverakonda Too
Bhagyashri Borse is also playing the female lead in VD12, a film starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. She is actively participating in the shoot, where Vijay is reportedly playing a police officer. The film is said to revolve around a police constable's journey to becoming a mafia leader. Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film will have music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Additionally, there’s speculation that Bhagyashri might star opposite Natural Star Nani in a film directed by Sujeeth.
https://twitter.com/DQsWayfarerFilm/status/1833013939837276196
Is Bhagyashri in Love?
Rumors have surfaced suggesting that Bhagyashri Borse might be in love. A previous Instagram post of hers, saying "Love happens without any warning," went viral. Sharing a bouquet gifted by someone close to her, she added a love symbol to the post. She carefully avoided revealing the person's identity while sharing pictures of snow-covered valleys and sunsets. Subtle hints like two birds in a photo sparked speculations about her love life. Fans flooded social media with posts speculating that the actress might have found someone special.

#BoycottSaiPallavi Trends Over Army Comments as Her War Film 'Amaran' Releases; Bollywood PR Drama Exposed?
Sai Pallavi's latest film 'Amaran' is set to release this Diwali as a festive treat for the audience. The film, set against an army backdrop, has kept Sai Pallavi very busy with promotions. During this period, some netizens have targeted her, calling for a boycott of Sai Pallavi's films on social media. The hashtag #BoycottSaiPallavi is trending nationwide. A video of her past comments, perceived as insulting to the Indian army, has been going viral on social media for the last three days.
What Actually Happened?
As known, the film 'Amaran' is set against an army backdrop. This has brought Sai Pallavi's controversial past comments about the Indian army back into the spotlight, causing the related video to go viral. During the promotions of the movie 'Virata Parvam,' Sai Pallavi gave an interview to a YouTube channel, discussing terrorism and violence. She remarked, "We view Pakistani soldiers as terrorists, and similarly, Pakistanis see our Indian soldiers as terrorists. They think we are harming them. Violence is no solution to any problem. Wars were fought in the past when there was no law. Now, there is no need for that." These comments have ignited fury among netizens.
https://twitter.com/ViralVidox/status/1850064411202932830
Demand for Boycott
In the same interview where Sai Pallavi allegedly disrespected the Indian army, she also made remarks that have been construed as offensive to Sanatana Dharma. This video too has gone viral, with netizens campaigning on social media for everyone to boycott Sai Pallavi's films. Nationalist and traditionalist groups are demanding a 100% boycott of Sai Pallavi's films, suggesting that since she favors Pakistan, she might as well make films there. They are criticizing her harshly, saying she is not really the national crush but a different kind of crush. A netizen has also demanded a boycott of her latest film 'Amaran' and even called for her removal from the upcoming Hindi film 'Ramayanam,' in which she is supposed to play Sita. There are demands for stringent action against those who speak ill of Sanatana Dharma. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi's fans are defending her, claiming her words are being twisted and unnecessary controversy is being stirred up.

Sai Pallavi's Emotional Post
Amidst these promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi recently visited the National War Memorial. She paid tribute to soldiers who died for the country, posting photos of the visit on her Instagram. She added emotional words to these images, stating, "Before starting the promotions for Amaran, I wanted to visit the National War Memorial. I went there a few days ago. It is a sacred temple that holds details about soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us. I felt very emotional while paying tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan and Soldier Vikram Singh."

Are They Deliberately Targeting Her?
Recently, during the promotions for 'Amaran,' Sai Pallavi made interesting comments. She mentioned that someone from Bollywood, representing a PR agency, approached her promising to enhance her image. However, she rejected this offer, stating she had no need for such services. Now, accusations are surfacing that this is a targeted campaign to tarnish her image as she is about to make her Bollywood debut with 'Ramayanam.' There are significant comments urging her removal from the role of Sita. Discussions in film circles suggest that the Bollywood PR teams are deliberately targeting Sai Pallavi.

In Ghaati, where Anushka plays the female lead, she is shown in a rugged, intense look with blood on her face, smoking a cigar, surrounded by smoke. Interestingly, Prabhas’ recent Raja Saab poster also depicted him in a similar getup, holding a cigar in his mouth with a smoky effect. Fans have taken to social media, placing both posters side by side and tagging them as “King and Queen,” calling for a new film featuring the two together.

A Fierce Anushka
On Thursday morning, the makers of Ghaati released the first look of Anushka’s character, followed by a solid teaser in the evening. Unlike her previous films, Anushka appears more violent and intense, shown mercilessly decapitating someone while looking in a bus mirror. In the teaser, she is seen calmly smoking a cigar with blood-covered hands after the brutal act. This powerful role brings back memories of her impactful performances in films like Vedam and Arundhati, where she showcased her ability to take on strong, intense roles.

All Hopes Pinned on Ghaati
Anushka, once a leading star in the industry, is currently facing challenges in her career, with fewer opportunities alongside major stars. Although her recent film Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty received positive feedback, it didn’t achieve the kind of success fans expected for her. Therefore, Ghaati is a crucial project for Anushka as she aims to re-establish her position in the industry. Similarly, Ghaati’s director Krish is also relying on this project for a comeback after the shelving of Hari Hara Veera Mallu.
Prabhas’ Upcoming Projects
Prabhas currently has a packed lineup of pan-India projects. Along with Raja Saab, he is working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga on Spirit, Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2, Prashanth Neel’s Salaar 2, and Hanu Raghavapudi’s Fauji. He also has a special role in Manchu Vishnu’s ambitious project Kannappa. Recently, Prasanth Varma, known for HanuMan, reportedly narrated a story to Prabhas that he was highly interested in. Furthermore, discussions are ongoing for projects with Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood’s Rajkumar Hirani. With these diverse ventures, Prabhas’ career is on an unstoppable rise.
