Juhi Chawla: ‘Bad Decisions’ of Failed Films But Wealth Is Big

If you are asked who is the richest actress in the Indian film industry, your answer might be Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra or Katrina Kaif.
But none of these answers is correct, but if the wealth of all of them is kept in one layer and Juhi Chawla’s wealth is kept in another layer, then the layer of Juhi Chawla’s wealth will be bent.
This richest actress of India is not only the richest, but it also involves the process of her business decisions.

Once when someone asked Juhi Chawla about his failed films, he said that it was because of his ‘bad decisions.’
Yes! So why are we talking about Juhi Chawla today? In fact, she was born 57 years ago today in a Punjabi family in the famous Haryana city of Ambala near Delhi.
His father worked in the Indian Revenue Service, which moved his family to Bombay (now Mumbai) where he completed his school and college education.
Around the world, beauty pageant is considered the easiest way for actresses to get into films and India has seen a lot of growth since the 1980s.
Meenakshi Seshadri first became Miss India in 1981 at the age of 17 and made her Bollywood debut in 1984 with the film ‘Hero’ and her first film was a super hit.
In her footsteps, Juhi Chawla, born on 13 November 1967, also became Miss India at the age of 17 and then came to the movies in 1986 with a small role in the film ‘Sultant’.
However, she appeared as a heroine for the first time in Aamir Khan’s film ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and this film is considered to be one of the most successful films of her life.
After this film, the impact of Juhi Chawla’s beauty and acting is felt even today.
She received the title of Filmfare’s Lux New Face of the Year for the movie ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ based on Shakespeare’s famous play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and she was also nominated for Best Actress.

The film became a cult hit along with the stories of Laila Majnu, Heer Ranjha and Romeo and Juliet, and Juhi Chawla became an overnight star alongside Aamir Khan.
The pair then gave several films between 1988 and 1993 including ‘Luv Luv Luv’, ‘Tum Mere Ho’, ‘Daulat Ki Jung’ and ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke’.
Juhi Chawla was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar’. During this time, he also did the film ‘Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman’ with Shah Rukh Khan.
It is said about her that she was obsessed with the best actresses of her time. Kajol was with him in the film ‘Ishq’ but Juhi Chawla was seen to be superior to him. Similarly, she dominated Madhuri Dixit in ‘Gulab Gang’.
His beauty was appreciated by people of all ages. She is an actress who was offered marriage by Salman Khan but was rejected by Juhi Chawla.
Perhaps this is the reason why he does not have any big film with Salman Khan, but he has definitely played small roles in Salman Khan’s film.
Juhi Chawla made his acting debut with films like ‘Amar Prem’, ‘Bol Radha Bol’ and ‘Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman’.

‘Made Shah Rukh a star’
After Aamir Khan, he also did many successful films with Shah Rukh Khan. Both of them worked together in at least a dozen films. Important among them are ‘Dar’, ‘Ram Jaane’, ‘One To Ka Four’, ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’, ‘Yes Boss’ and ‘Kasmat Connection’.
Juhi Chawla has revealed in many places that when she first saw Shahrukh Khan on the sets of ‘Raju Bin Gaya Gentleman’, she was deeply shocked and said that the producer had cheated her.
He was told that Shah Rukh Khan is just like Aamir Khan. So Juhi Chawla asked from what angle is he like Aamir Khan?
They said of Shah Rukh Khan, ‘He’s black, he’s ugly to look at and his hair is weird’, but then both of them rose above the color.
Juhi Chawla who is known for her comic timing has said on several occasions that she made Shah Rukh Khan a star.
It should be remembered that the film ‘Kisamat Connection’ is his last hit film which was released in the year 2008. Since then, she is still seen doing various roles in films mostly as mother and sister.
But more than that, she is seen in the most popular cricket league, IPL, as she is part of the Kolkata Knight Riders along with Shah Rukh Khan.

He has his own entertainment company ‘Red Chillies’ which is involved in many film related ventures apart from producing films.
He is India’s richest film personality after Shah Rukh Khan. She is one of the brand names that can be said to be a combination of charm and talent in Indian cinema.
She tops the 2024 Huron Rich List as India’s richest actress and her net worth is estimated at INR 4,600 crore, which is about US$580 million.
She is followed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who has a net worth of USD 100 million while Priyanka Chopra is followed by a net worth of USD 80 million.
Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt come next with a net worth of $60 million, while Katrina Kaif owns a net worth of $24 million.
In this way, even if the wealth of all of them is combined, the wealth of Juhi Chawla becomes much more than them.
However, his wealth is not just a result of his films. Earnings of films are like salt in flour. Apart from Red Chillies and Kolkata Knight Riders, she has partnerships in various franchises and the wealth of her millionaire businessman husband Jay Mehta adds to this.
Juhi Chawla got married to Jay Mehta in 1995 and then she set up Dreams in Limited production company with Shahrukh which later became Red Chillies. Many films including ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’ were made under the banner of Dreams In Limited.
On her 57th birthday, when she looks back on her accomplishments, she will be proud of her decisions with singular serenity. She has a daughter and a son among her children and she says that her daughter is more interested in writing than movies.
