Aishwarya Rai Bachchan becomes second richest actress in India, net worth soars to RS 900 crore

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the former Miss World who has long been a symbol of beauty and grace, has now added another feather to her illustrious cap. With her net worth soaring to an astounding Rs 900 crore, Aishwarya has officially become the second richest actress in India, according to a report by Siasat.

Crowned Miss World in 1994, Aishwarya made her acting debut with Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar in 1997, followed by Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya in the same year. Over the years, she has delivered iconic performances in major hits like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Dhoom 2, Guru, and Robot. Her combination of beauty, talent, and global appeal has kept her relevant in an industry known for its changing tides.

Despite facing setbacks with underperforming films like Albela, Dil Ka Rishta, Kuch Na Kaho, Kyun! Ho Gaya Na…, Fanney Khan, and Jazbaa, Aishwarya has successfully maintained her position in the industry. Her financial acumen and brand value have contributed significantly to her impressive net worth. Reports state she charges Rs 10 crore per film and earns around Rs 6-7 crore for brand endorsements.

A global icon, Aishwarya has always made career choices that align with her personal values. As per DNA, she turned down Hollywood blockbusters like Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt and Hancock with Will Smith, citing discomfort with intimate scenes as the reason. Her choices, though unconventional for a global star, have only strengthened her reputation as someone who prioritizes dignity over glamour.

Interestingly, while Aishwarya turned 51 recently, none of the Bachchan family members publicly wished her on social media. However, a throwback tweet from Amitabh Bachchan in 2010 recently resurfaced on Reddit, where Big B thanked fans for sending birthday wishes to his daughter-in-law. The tweet read, “T172 -First things first … thank you all for wishing Aishwarya on her birthday !! Have passed it on to her.. she thanks all … love.”

Meanwhile, her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan, reportedly holds a net worth of $250 million (approximately Rs 2,000 crore), and charges between Rs 5 to 10 crore per film. Together, the Bachchans remain one of Bollywood’s most high-profile and affluent families.
