Meet Pakistan's richest Hindu, his name is also in the Guinness Book of World Records for..., his name is..., net worth is...
Hindus form the largest religious minority in Pakistan, making up approximately 2.17 per cent of the total population, with the majority residing in Sindh. Among them, Deepak Perwani has risen to prominence as both an acclaimed fashion designer and a successful businessman. Deepak was born in 1973 in Mirpur Khas, a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan. He belongs to the Hindu Sindhi community.
Deepak started his career in fashion and slowly made a big name for himself. His flashy fashion life started in 1996 when he set up his own couture house, 'DP (Deepak Perwani),' which specialized in bridal and formal wear. Over the years, he has been awarded many, both locally and globally, with, for example, being named the sixth-best fashion designer in the world in 2014 at the Bulgarian Fashion Awards. Additionally, he has won multiple Lux Style Awards, BFA Awards, and the Indus Style Guru Award. In fact, he is one of the most famous designers in Pakistan.
Apart from fashion, Deepak has also acted in a few Pakistani dramas and films like Yeh Zindagi Hai, Meri Jaan, Very Filmy, and Punjab Nahi Jaungi. Perwani has also served as Pakistan's cultural ambassador to China and Malaysia.
In 2022, a report said that his total wealth was about Rs. 71 crore. That makes him the richest Hindu in Pakistan.
Deepak also made a world record. He created the world's biggest kurta (a traditional long shirt). For this, his name was added to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Earlier this year, in an interview with Aamna Haider on her show Something Haute , Mr Perwani shared his candid views on the contrasting realities of life in Pakistan and India. He highlighted stark differences between the two countries, particularly in terms of freedom, happiness and infrastructure. He also pointed out how cities in India felt more pedestrian-friendly compared to Pakistan.
Perwani's views have divided Pakistani social media users. While some accused him of being unpatriotic, others viewed his statements as a sobering reflection of reality.
Today, Deepak Perwani is seen as a symbol of success for minorities in Pakistan. His cousin, Naveen Perwani, a world-famous snooker player with international fame, is also among the richest people, with an estimated net worth of around Rs 60 crore.

Made for Rs 80 Crore, this film with two superstars became India's biggest flop, earned only Rs..., ended career of 1 actor, movie is...
Every time a big-budget Bollywood movie is made, it comes with a lot of expectations to hit the big screens with a boom and generate good revenue. However, in some cases, the opposite happens, and despite being made on a big budget with a famous cast, the movie fails to perform well. Today, we will discuss one such movie which was made for Rs 80 crore; however, it was unable to generate the desired revenue. The movie was released in 2009, and despite expectations of being a hit, this film turned out to be the biggest disaster in Bollywood. It featured actors like Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Khan, and more. Still, the movie couldn't hold the audience till the end. The film we are talking about is none other than Blue. Directed by Anthony D'Souza, Blue had a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Sanjay Dutt, and Zayed Khan. The film was said to be one of the biggest projects of Akshay Kumar's career. After the trailer was launched in 2009, it created massive buzz among fans. However, when the movie finally made it to the big screens, it was not liked by the audience. The movie was released almost 15 years ago, and back then the budget of the film was Rs 80 crore, which was considered huge. However, as per reports, Blue did a business of only Rs 63 crore worldwide. Blue turned out to be the biggest box office flop of 2009, adding another failure to the careers of Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt. Not just that, it also ended Zayed Khan's career. His subsequent films also did not work, and since then, he has been away from the big screen.

Salman Khan Pokes Fun At Sikandar's Reception On Kapil Sharma Show: 'Kaam Dhanda Acha Chalra Hai?'
Last Updated: Salman Khan kicks off The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 with a dig at his own film, Sikandar. The Great Indian Kapil Show is back with its third season, and who better to launch it than Salman Khan. The superstar appears in the premiere episode airing Saturday, June 21, on Netflix, to promote his latest release, Sikandar. Known for never shying away from poking fun at himself, Salman brings his trademark humour to the stage — complete with banter, witty comebacks, and a hilarious moment with his own impersonator. In one standout segment, Salman is introduced to a group of Bollywood lookalikes — including versions of Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and a fan dressed as Radhe Bhaiyya from Tere Naam. Spotting his own double, Salman playfully asks, 'Kaam dhanda accha chalra hai? Sikandar se koi farak to nahi pada?" The impersonator simply smiles and shakes his head, prompting laughter from the audience and cast alike. The episode also features lively exchanges between Navjot Singh Sidhu and Archana Puran Singh, continuing the show's legacy of blending celebrity guests with full-blown comedy. While Sikandar became one of the year's biggest Bollywood earners, raking in more than Rs 120 crore, it received mixed reviews and fell short of the usual Salman Khan blockbuster mark. Meanwhile, reports are rife that Sikandar has suffered a massive financial blow after being leaked online just hours after its release. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the piracy resulted in losses amounting to approximately Rs 91 crore for the production team. An insider told the publication, 'An audit was commissioned to assess the extent of the leak and the resulting impact on revenue. Ernst & Young (EnY) submitted a comprehensive report that pegged the loss at approximately Rs. 91 crore." The audit reportedly measured the difference between projected and actual earnings following the leak. Advanced tracking tools were used to monitor illegal downloads and streams, calculating the financial damage caused to the film's theatrical and digital revenue. 'Such audits often include a blend of data from ticketing platforms, distributor reports, and forensic tracing of piracy dissemination," the source added. 'The Rs. 91 crore figure wasn't arbitrary – it is rooted in a loss of potential theatrical and digital revenue." First Published:
