Despite not having a major film success in recent years, her financial achievements stem from astute business ventures. She co-owns the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders with her longtime friend and business partner Shah Rukh Khan.
Juhi’s wealth is further bolstered by her co-founding Red Chillies Entertainment, a significant contributor to her financial success.
Her substantial net worth far exceeds that of her peers, with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at INR 8.5 billion and Priyanka Chopra at INR 6.5 billion. Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone rank fourth and fifth, respectively.
Juhi’s strategic investments in real estate and businesses, along with her husband Jay Mehta’s family wealth, have positioned her well ahead of other top actresses, establishing her as a formidable financial force in Bollywood.
