Meet actress, who quit Bollywood after just one hit, got married to a man worth Rs 50000 crore, her name is..., her husband is...
Following a successful career in modelling, this actress rose to overnight stardom with her impressive Bollywood debut, alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Despite the film's lackluster box office performance, her acting was highly praised. However, she disappeared from the industry right after the film premiered and married to one of India's successful businessman. We are talking about none other Gayatri Joshi.
Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades , released in 2004, is considered one of Shah Rukh Khan's finest work. However, his co-star and the film's debutant female lead, Gayatri, matched him in performance, receiving acclaim for her nuanced portrayal.
Considering Gayatri made her debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan during his prime, this would have created more opportunities for her. But, Gayatri had her priorities set. Immediately after the film's success, she decided to end association with the glamour world. Just few weeks after her debut released, Gayatri married businessman Vikas Oberoi and bid adieu to her acting career. Thus, Swades became her only Bollywood release ever.
Vikas Oberoi, the spouse of Gayatri Oberoi, is a prominent businessman, who runs Oberoi Construction, a top real estate company in India. According to Forbes, he has a net worth of $6 billion ( Rs 50,000 crore), and been termed as one of the richest men by Grohe-Hurun.
Gayatri may not be heavily invested in acting, but still maintains connections with few Bollywood celebrities. Sussane Khan and Sonali Bendre are among her closest friends.
For the unversed, Gayatri Joshi represented India at Miss International 2000 after securing the Femina Miss India International title in 2000.

Taking to Instagram, content creator Priyam Saraswat shared a video showcasing the ultra-luxurious 4-BHK marble house owned by businessman Anand Prakash Chouksey. The clip begins with Mr Saraswat asking if the house is indeed their residence and a replica of the Taj Mahal. The couple confirms it with a smile, following which the content creator asks if the home is dedicated to Mr Chouksey's wife. "Absolutely, it is 100% dedicated to her. And our love stands strong with us," Mr Chouksey replies. The businessman then explains that the house has been constructed using Makrana marble - the same material used in the iconic monument located in Agra. "The original Taj Mahal's dimensions in metres have been replicated in feet here. It's one-third the size of the original monument," Mr Chouksey says. Sharing the video on Instagram, Mr Saraswat wrote, "This stunning home is situated close to Indore in MP and built as a symbol of propagating love amongst all. A majestic structure with one of a kind marble work from inside. The best part is it's built inside a school founded by @ This truly is a remarkable house and such a great purpose."

Who will inherit Sunjay Kapur's Rs 310000000000 business empire? Karisma Kapoor's daughter Samaira....
Who will inherit Sunjay Kapur's Rs 310000000000 business empire? Karisma Kapoor's daughter Samaira.... Indian automotive industry veteran and Chairman of Sona Comstar, Sunjay Kapur, passed away on Thursday. He was 53 years old. He was best known to many as the former husband of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. The couple had two children together: daughter Samaira, born in 2005, and son Kiaan, born in 2011. They filed for divorce by mutual consent in 2014, which was finalized in 2016. Sanjay is the son of Surinder Kapur and Rani Kapur. He took over management of his father's business in 2003, and following his father's death in 2015, he was left to handle it entirely on his own. Sanjay had two sisters, Mandira Kapur and Suparna Motwane. Speculation is rife that following Sanjay Kapur's untimely demise, ownership of his business may pass to his two sisters. For context, Kapur was the owner of Sona Comstar, a leading name in the Indian automotive sector, with a market capitalization estimated at Rs 31,000 crore, according to Bloomberg. As far as Sunjay Kapur's personal life is concerned, he was married first to Nandita Mahtani. Their marriage lasted four years before they got divorced. The couple had no children. Later, he married the Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. They got divorced, and he subsequently married actress and model Priya Sachdev, who was previously married to hotelier Vikram Chatwal. Priya Sachdev was a mother from her previous marriage, having a daughter from their marriage. After marrying Sanjay, she gave birth to a son, Azarius. As such, Sanjay had responsibility for a total of four children: Samaira, Kiaan, Safira, and Azarius. Priya Sachdev and the four children represented his family, and they used to enjoy festivals together. Now that he has passed unexpectedly, the whole family business is reportedly going to be managed by Priya Sachdev. Sanjay Kapur was estimated to have over Rs 12,000 crore of assets under management, which must be quite a business for someone taking over. In 2017, model and actress Priya Sachdev entered Sanjay Kapur's life. She was previously divorced and had a daughter named Safira Chatwal from her first marriage. After marrying Sanjay, the couple welcomed a son, Azarius. This brought the total number of children under Sanjay's care to four—Samaira, Kiaan, Safira, and Azarius. Priya and these four children made up his close-knit family. Sanjay Kapur reportedly owned assets worth over Rs 12,000 crore, and managing such a vast empire could now become a significant challenge.
