A young woman made her debut in the Indian film business in the mid-1980s and became popular very soon. Audiences have been enthralled with this actress for decades; she is none other than Juhi Chawla, the daughter of an IRS official. Her career has been studded with incredible accomplishments, such as her collaborations with Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol, Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Rishi Kapoor.
Juhi Chawla: From Miss India to Film Superstar
When Juhi Chawla won the title of Miss India in 1984, her rise to fame started. In 1986, she made her feature film début in the supporting part in “Sultanat.” Nevertheless, her portrayal in ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ in 1988 was what really cemented her as a prominent Bollywood actor.
A Secret Marriage at the Peak of Her Career
Juhi Chawla’s path in her personal life has been equally remarkable as her career. She married widowed industrialist Jay Mehta at the pinnacle of her career. She kept her marriage a secret from the public out of concern that it would harm her career. It wasn’t until she became pregnant with their first child that the marriage was revealed.
Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta
Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta got married in 1995 and are parents to two kids: a son named Arjun and a girl named Jhanvi. A well-known businessman, Jay Mehta is the Chairman of The Mehta Group and has holdings in the US, Africa, India, and Canada. His estimated net worth ranges from Rs 1000 to Rs 2400 crore, while the assets of the firm are valued at around Rs 4130 crore (approximately USD 500 million).
A Luxurious Lifestyle
The pair drives a fleet of high-end automobiles and owns many houses, contributing to their opulent lifestyle. Their main residence is a family-owned apartment in Malabar Hills, Mumbai, where they occupy two floors, with the remaining floors dedicated to their art collection. They also own the gorgeously renovated Hill Bungalow, an ancestral property in Porbandar, Gujarat, built by Channa Daswatte.
Co-Owners of Kolkata Knight Riders
The IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan, Jay Mehta, and Juhi Chawla. For $75.09 million (about Rs 623 crore), they acquired the squad in 2007. Forbes estimates that as of 2022, KKR’s worth has skyrocketed to $1.1 billion (about Rs 9,139 crore). Their squad, KKR, defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 8 wickets in the IPL 2024 just yesterday. Following the game, Juhi, Jay Mehta, Shah Rukh, and Gauri Khan were all spotted celebrating the win.
