Who is the richest member of the Deol family? Has a net worth of Rs 400 crore, not Sunny, Esha, or Bobby Deol; name is…
When the name of the Deol family is taken in Bollywood, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are mentioned first. There was a time when Sunny Deol's films were dominated by dialogue and action, and Bobby Deol had also given many hit films. But there was another member of this family, who neither did strong action nor adapted himself to masala films, he was Abhay Deol. Initially, he was often ignored by calling him the 'third Deol'. But today Abhay has not only created a separate identity for himself, but has also gone far ahead of Sunny and Bobby in terms of wealth. Who is this member of the Deol family? Abhay Deol started his career in 2005 with Imtiaz Ali's film 'Socha Na Tha'. After this, he worked in films like Dev D, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Raanjhanaa, and Shanghai. These films may not have earned much money, but his acting was highly praised. Talking about the box office, only 3 films of Abhay have been big hits – Dev D, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Raanjhanaa. But still Abhay's different thinking and script choice made him the face of 'parallel cinema'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Abhay Deol (@abhaydeol) How did Abhay become the richest 'Deol'? While Sunny Deol's net worth is around Rs 120 crores and Bobby Deol's is Rs 70 crores. At the same time, Abhay Deol's total assets are estimated to be Rs 400 crores in 2023-24. This information has come from websites like Lifestyle Asia and Madhyam. Abhay's earnings are not only from films. He is also earning crores through business investments and property deals. According to reports, he earns around Rs 10 crores every year from acting and OTT projects. His recent web series 'Trial by Fire' (2023) received appreciation from both audiences and critics. The series came on Netflix and his performance in it was highly appreciated. Far from fame, close to peace Abhay Deol said in an interview, 'I have never been influenced by fame or money. Real satisfaction comes when you are able to do what you want to do. Small budget films matter more to me because they present me in my real form.' This thinking of his explains why he never participated in the race to become a 'mainstream hero', but still today he has become the most successful and wealthy Deol.

John Abraham reveals why he says no to bollywood parties—and yes to a 4 am wake-up call John Abraham recently opened up about his conscious decision to skip Bollywood parties—not because he lacks fun, but because he doesn't drink, hates the stench of alcohol, and sleeps early.

Awards for mandals, drone shows: Govt gears up grand celebration of Ganeshotsav
To celebrate the ten-day Ganeshotsav, which begins from August 27, the Maharashtra government is planning to organise an array of programmes including competitions for Ganpati mandals and drone shows. The state government has dedicated around Rs 11 crore for this, Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar said Friday. In July, the government had announced Ganeshotsav as the state festival. 'As per the government's decision, we have announced awards for Ganesh mandals that adhere to religious traditions and also promote eco-friendly practices. A drone show will be organised at Girgaon Chowpatty. Public spaces across Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Mumbai and other parts of the state will be illuminated to mark the occasion,' Shelar said. From this year, a dedicated digital platform will be created for streaming of prominent temples and sarvajanik Ganeshotsav mandals across the state. 'We are also introducing schemes to provide financial grants for devotional materials for bhajan mandals during the festival. We are committed to ensuring that the arrival of Lord Ganesha is celebrated with grandeur not only in Maharashtra but also abroad,' the minister said. The state government has issued two government resolutions outlining competitions and various programmes, planning and coordination of which will be carried out by PL Deshpande Kala Academy and the Directorate of Cultural Affairs. As part of the declaration of Ganeshotsav as the state festival, a logo will also be unveiled. Among the events planned for the celebrations are cultural programmes to showcase the state's art, culture and traditions, which will be held not only in Maharashtra, but also in other states and even in select foreign countries with significant Marathi-speaking communities. The government will also provide special recognition to films depicting Ganpati traditions, art and culture. Ganpati-themed postage stamps and coins will be released as part of the celebrations. The government will also arrange transport facilities for domestic and international tourists during the visarjan (immersion) ceremony.
