photoDetails english 2917247 Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja may have retired from the game over two decades ago, but his name is once again making headlines this time, not for his on-field performances but for his off-field empire. With an estimated net worth of 1,450 crore, Jadeja has quietly emerged as the richest Indian cricketer, surpassing even cricketing icons like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, and Rohit Sharma. Updated:Jun 17, 2025, 01:54 PM IST Ajay Jadeja: India's Richest Cricketer with 1450 Crore Net Worth 1 / 11 Ajay Jadeja, the former Indian cricketer, now holds the title of the richest cricketer in India, with an estimated net worth of ₹1,450 crore surpassing icons like Kohli, Dhoni, and Tendulkar. Jadeja's Post-Cricket Success Story 2 / 11 Despite retiring from international cricket in 2000, Jadeja has built a strong financial empire through investments and royal inheritance, maintaining a powerful public presence. Successor to Jamnagar Throne Boosts Fortune 3 / 11 In October 2024, Ajay Jadeja was named the heir to the royal throne of Jamnagar by Maharaja Jamsaheb, adding a new dimension and significant wealth to his legacy. Bollywood Dreams: Ajay Jadeja's Brief Stint in Films 4 / 11 After cricket, Jadeja ventured into Bollywood, acting in films like Khel, Pal Pal Dil Ke Saath, though the career didn't take off.

Gill mourns cat's death
In an Instagram Story shared on Sunday, Yashma Gill mourned the demise of her cat Jojo in a heartfelt note. "Yesterday, I lost a piece of my heart," she announced. "Jojo wasn't just a cat. He was my baby, my family, my everything. He was there for me through times of joy and heartbreak, with his quiet love and knowing eyes. He depended on me, trusted me, loved me unconditionally, and I did the same. He made my house a home, my heart a little fuller, my life a little brighter. Losing him feels like losing a child and a part of my soul," she wrote. The Haq Mehar actor also dedicated a bittersweet carousel to her departed companion, sharing several video clips of Jojo's little, domestic adventures. "Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to my child, my Jojo. My heart is shattered, and the silence without you is unbearable," she penned. "You were more than just a cat. You were my companion, my comfort, my little piece of joy, and literally the beat to my heart," Yashma continued. "I'll miss your gentle purrs, your warm presence, those eyes and the way you always knew when I needed you most. It feels impossible to let go, but I know you're at peace now. I'll carry your love with me forever. Rest well, my precious Jojo. You'll never be forgotten." Pet keepers understood Yashma's grief all too well, as many poured their condolences in the comments section. While many felt sorry for the actor's loss, others couldn't help but share their own tragic experiences with the passing of their feline friends. Relating to Yashma's pain, a user wrote, "My cat died last week. I know how she feels." Others were quick to lift the Khel actor's spirits by reminding her of Jojo's love. "Your baby is in kitty heaven now, watching over you!" one user said. Another wrote, "Hey Yashma, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Losing a pet is never easy, and I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Sending you lots of love, hugs, and condolences. May cherished memories of Jojo bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. May you find comfort and peace during this tough time." Yashma's last post featuring Jojo was in February, when she embraced singlehood by spending Valentine's Day with her cats. The first clip in the carousel captured Jojo's unamused expression as Yashma lifted him up in her arms. The actor wrote that the clip "is a perfect depiction of what Jojo and all my cats feel for me." She added, "Happy Valentine's Day to my constants and only valentines."

Paresh Rawal says Hera Pheri was based on a Gujarati play he did in 1984: ‘I interrupted Priyadarshan and narrated the climax'
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal , who immortalised the character of Babu Bhaiya in the cult classic Hera Pheri (2000), recently revealed that the film's story was not entirely new to him. In fact, he had performed the same storyline decades earlier in a Gujarati play titled Khel. Paresh Rawal reveals he performed Hera Pheri's story 25 years before the film released In an interview with The Lallantop, Paresh Rawal recalled how director Priyadarshan was surprised when he interrupted the film's narration and completed the climax himself. 'I remember clearly—it was July 1996. Priyadarshan was narrating the story in his hotel room. I interrupted him midway and told him the entire climax. He asked, 'Do you watch Malayalam films too?' I said, 'You're talking about a Malayalam film (Ramji Rao Speaking), but this has already been staged as a Gujarati play in 1984. It was called Khel. Swaroop was the heroine in it,'' Rawal said, referring to his wife Swaroop Sampat. Paresh Rawal went on to share that he had directed the play Khel and also acted in it along with Naseeruddin Shah . It revolved around a struggling actor who accidentally gets a call from a kidnapper demanding ransom. What follows is a series of comedic twists as the actor and his girlfriend attempt to turn the situation to their advantage. Interestingly, Khel was staged in the US in 1984, exactly 25 years before Hera Pheri hit theatres in 2000. 'Coincidentally, on 29 March 1984, we were performing Khel in the US. That's exactly 25 years before Hera Pheri released,' Rawal added. 'Priyadarshan thought the story was original' Rawal shared that director Priyadarshan believed the storyline of Ramji Rao Speaking, the Malayalam film on which Hera Pheri was based, was original. 'But I told him this story had already been done in Gujarati theatre decades ago. He was surprised,' Rawal recalled. The play is now being revived under a new name Saanp Seedhi with actors Kumud Mishra and Sumeet Vyas stepping into the roles. Rawal reflected on how different times were when they first staged it in the US, even flying with prop guns and swords, which would be impossible post-9/11. 'It was a two-character play—Naseer bhai and I. The role Sumeet is playing now, I did back then. It was a tough role—not just for the costume changes but also for the voice and tone variations,' he added. 'Mera beta agar Ranbir Kapoor jitna talented hota toh...': Paresh Rawal on nepotism debate and 'Hera Pheri 3' Hera Pheri 3 to go on floors soon Fans of Hera Pheri have more reason to rejoice. Paresh Rawal is all set to return as Babu Bhaiya in Hera Pheri 3, alongside Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty . Directed by Farhad Samji, the film is expected to go on floors in December and wrap by mid-2026. While Priyadarshan is currently working with Akshay Kumar on Bhoot Bangla, Hera Pheri 3 is slated for a late 2026 or early 2027 release.
