Meet Indian business tycoon whose first wife died in a plane crash, married an actress secretly, his name is..., wife is...
New Delhi: Juhi Chawla has been one of the most vivacious and successful actresses of the 90s. Throughout her career, she worked with superstars ranging from Aamir Khan to Shahrukh Khan and was part of several successful films. In the 1990s, Juhi Chawla ruled the hearts of the audience with her smile and splendid acting. She captured audiences' hearts with performances in films like 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', 'Darr', 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke', and 'Ishq'. However, unlike other actresses, Juhi always kept her personal life away from the limelight. Juhi Chawla secretly married businessman Jay Mehta in 1995 and kept it under wraps for a long time. Juhi Chawla herself revealed the reason for this. She mentioned that she was afraid that news of her marriage could affect her popularity and career. It is noteworthy that Jay Mehta is a billionaire businessman, the chairman of the Mehta Group, and the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Jay Mehta graduated from Columbia University and earned an MBA from the International Institute of Management Development in Switzerland. Jay's first marriage was in 1984 to Sujata Birla, who was the sister of prominent Birla Group heir Yash Birla. However, in 1990, Jay Mehta's life was completely shaken. Sujata died in the crash of Indian Airlines Flight 605. This incident deeply traumatized Jay. A few years after Sujata's death, Juhi Chawla entered Jay Mehta's life. Initially, they developed a friendship that later turned into love. Juhi and Jay met at a dinner party hosted by Rakesh Roshan. In an interview, Juhi mentioned that when she married Jay, she was dealing with the shock of her mother's death and was concerned about her career. However, her mother-in-law advised her to continue acting. Today, Juhi and Jay have been married for three decades, and they have a daughter, Jahnvi, and son Arjun. Jay Mehta is the chairman of Mehta Group whose net worth is about Rs 4171 crores. This company operates in sectors like cement, packaging, gardening, and building materials. Jay and Juhi live in a lavish house in Malabar Hill, Mumbai, which has two full floors. Their daughter Jahnavi and son Arjun are also showing interest in the family business. In 2024, Juhi Chawla became India's richest actress. It is worth mentioning that in 2024, Juhi Chawla secured her place in the Hurun Rich List as India's richest actress. According to the Hurun Rich List 2024, her wealth is Rs 4600 crores. She is only behind her close friend Shah Rukh Khan in the list of the richest actors. In 2007, Jay Mehta, along with Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, purchased Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for 75 million dollars (around 624 crore rupees). At that time, their business was going through a tough phase, but they took the risk. Today, KKR is one of the most successful franchises in IPL, having won the title three times. Jay describes it as the best investment of his life.
