Meet actress who quit acting at its peak, started a business, now runs a company worth Rs 1,200 crore, earns more than Ranbir Kapoor, name is…
When Goradia's career in TV and reality shows was at its peak, she surprised everyone by suddenly deciding to leave the industry. In this way, after spending about 19 years in the TV industry, Aashka said goodbye to TV in the year 2021 and started her entrepreneurship. She had decided that now she had to try her hand in business. How many years has Aashka worked in the film industry?
Aashka remained on the TV screen for years, where makeup plays a very important role. So she decided to start a business related to this field. This had started even before leaving TV, and in the year 2018 itself, she laid the foundation of a cosmetic brand along with Priyank Shah and Ashutosh Valani. When this business started growing, she decided to leave TV and try her hand this completely. What kind of business did Aashka Goradia start?
Aashka started his business with an initial investment of Rs 50 lakh. Gradually, his brand Renee started gaining momentum and online sales started increasing. Within just 2 years, the company's revenue crossed Rs 100 crore. In the year 2024, many media reports claimed that the valuation of his brand has reached Rs 1,200 to 1,400 crore. During this time, much funding was also received.
Goradia already knew about finance. She said in an interview that when she started earning money while working in TV, instead of fulfilling her hobbies, she focused on buying her own house in Mumbai. Aashka says that she bought her own house in Mumbai at the age of just 23. Currently, she lives in Goa with her husband and child. What is Aashka's company worth?
Not only has Aashka's cosmetic brand grown, but she has also created other sources of income. She earns crores of rupees every year through social media. Apart from this, she also runs a yoga studio in Goa with her husband. Today, her net worth is said to be around Rs 1,500 crore, which is about 4 times more than Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor's net worth of Rs 369 crore. Why did Aashka decide to quit the TV industry?
Aashka's decision to leave the TV industry was not just for business or to earn money, but from here her whole life changed. In the year 2019, she left Mumbai and shifted to Goa with her husband, Brent. For the unversed, Brent is an American yoga instructor. This is the reason why she started a yoga studio in Goa along with her husband. In the year 2023, she also had a son, and Goradia's family is enjoying Goa.

Mumbai's first ever public gymkhana to come up at Fort, BMC floats Rs 33-crore tender
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday floated a Rs 33-crore tender for constructing a Townhall Gymkhana at the Fort area. This will be the first ever gymkhana in Mumbai accessible for common citizens unlike the existing ones which allow only exclusive members. The project will be initiated as per Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) model which means that a single contractor will be appointed by the authorities who will be responsible for planning, construction as well as maintenance of the plot. The gymkhana is being constructed by redeveloping an existing recreation facility that was known as the BMC's Krida Bhavan, which was an exclusive indoor recreation facility for the civic employees. However, this structure remained underused and over the time fell into a dilapidated state, following which the BMC has decided to revive it into a city townhall. According to the plan the building will have a five storey structure with a glass dome on the top. There will also be a viewing deck on which will provide citizens a 180-degree view of the Fort and Azad Maidan area. The facility will also have a cafeteria, community hall along with a parking facility. Civic officials also maintained that the facility will have indoor recreation facilities for citizens as well. 'The objective of this plan is to provide citizens a space where they can visit and enjoy recreational activities. This facility will not cater to a specific section of people and will be open to everyone. Another primary purpose behind this plan is to engage tourism in the fort area,' said a civic official. The officials said that the BMC may also set up a museum inside one of the floors that will provide information about Mumbai's history as well as India's freedom movement. 'The facility will be located in a prime plot so it is quite evident that people from various walks of life including tourists will visit it. Therefore, it is the civic body's objective to use the plot entirely,' the official added. Civic sources said that while there has been no proposition made on entry fees yet, the final call will be taken once the project is ready. The last date of submission of bids to this tender is on August 29 and officials said that once the work order is issued it will take at least 3 years to finish the construction. Meanwhile, the existing sports complex will be relocated to Tulasiwadi near the Mahalakshmi racecourse, where a new state-of-the-art facility is proposed to be constructed to cater to the civic staff. Responding to questions about the relocation of the new sports complex, officials said the Mahalaxmi racecourse area was finalised owing to its natural space as well as the proximity to other sports facilities.
