Shah Rukh Khan becomes world’s richest actor with $1.4 billion net worth, overtakes Taylor Swift

According to the Hurun India Rich List 2025, Shah Rukh Khan has officially joined the ranks of global billionaires with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion (Rs. 12,490 crores). This milestone not only cements his status as India’s richest actor but also ranks him above several international stars.

Bollywood’s Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan (59), has joined the billionaire club for the first time with a wealth of INR 12,490 crores. In doing so, he now eclipses the fortunes of high-profile celebrities like Taylor Swift (at $1.3 billion), Arnold Schwarzenegger ($1.2 billion), Jerry Seinfeld ($1.2 billion), and Selena Gomez ($720 million).

Within India’s entertainment elite, the gap between Shah Rukh and his peers is growing significantly. His longtime business partner Juhi Chawla and her family rank next with a reported net worth of Rs. 7,790 crores, while Hrithik Roshan trails further behind at Rs. 2,160 crores.

The Hurun list notes that in the prior year, Shah Rukh’s net worth was pegged at $870 million, making this leap to $1.4 billion particularly notable. Analysts attribute this jump to his diversified investments ranging from his Red Chillies production and VFX ventures to real estate holdings in the Middle East and stakes in global cricket franchises.

As Shah Rukh Khan seizes the top global spot among actors by net worth, his financial clout now stands shoulder to shoulder with the biggest names in entertainment.

Varun Dhawan reveals he got drunk for ‘JugJugg Jeeyo’

**Varun Dhawan Reveals He Got Drunk While Shooting for ‘JugJugg Jeeyo’**

*By Apoorva Rastogi | Oct 01, 2025, 05:34 PM*

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan recently opened up about an unusual method he and co-star Maniesh Paul used to portray drunkenness authentically in the film *JugJugg Jeeyo*. In a candid interview with Pinkvilla, Dhawan revealed that both actors started drinking alcohol early in the morning to get into character — but things quickly got out of hand.

### The Scene That Required Real Drunkenness

Dhawan recalled the climax scene of the film featuring Anil Kapoor, where his character delivers a drunken speech during a vow renewal ceremony. “During that climax scene with Anil sir, when they are renewing their vows, I get drunk and I give a speech. So we were supposed to be drunk,” he said. To capture the essence of the moment, he and Maniesh began drinking at 7:30 am. By 2:00 pm, both actors were slurring their words, experiencing the effects of their early morning drinking session firsthand.

### Re-shoots Due to Intoxication

Unsurprisingly, their genuine drunkenness made it difficult to finish the scene properly. Dhawan revealed, “And the next day, the shoot continued, so we had to drink again.” This commitment to authenticity involved multiple takes under the influence to get the perfect shot.

### What’s Next for Varun Dhawan?

Aside from *JugJugg Jeeyo*, Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film is *Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari*, which also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf in pivotal roles. The movie is set to release in theaters on Thursday, October 2.

Bill Maher Calls Out ‘The View’ Hosts for Awkwardly Staying Silent About ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Suspension as Network Imposes Strict Rules — ‘It Won’t Kill You’

**Bill Maher Calls Out The View for Ignoring Jimmy Kimmel Drama**

*Published: September 22, 2025, 1:46 p.m. ET*

Bill Maher has criticized the ladies of *The View* for staying silent amid the recent controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

### Jimmy Kimmel Live! Pulled from Air

*Jimmy Kimmel Live!* was taken off the air following comments made by the comedian regarding the MAGA crowd’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Kimmel accused the MAGA supporters of using the tragic event for “political points,” which sparked a major backlash.

### What Did Maher Say?

On Friday, September 19, during the opening monologue of his *Real Time* show, Maher addressed *The View*’s silence on the issue.

*”I’m friendly with the ladies on The View, but they didn’t say anything about this this week. Nothing,”* Maher remarked. The 69-year-old then added sarcastically, *”You know, because it’s never been their thing to weigh in on the issues. It’s just an upbeat party show. That’s why they hired people named Joy [Behar] and Sunny [Hostin] and Whoopi [Goldberg].”*

Maher further urged co-hosts Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Alyssa Farah Griffin to comment, saying:
*”Girls, go out strong, OK? It won’t kill you, I promise. It’s happened to me, and I may go out after this show. We don’t know.”*

Maher’s own show, *Politically Incorrect*, was pulled off the air back in 2001 after he made controversial comments about the 9/11 hijackers.

### Whoopi Goldberg Speaks Out

On Monday, September 22, Whoopi Goldberg responded to Maher’s remarks during *The View*.

*”Did y’all really think we weren’t going to talk about Jimmy Kimmel? I mean, have you watched the show over the last 29 seasons? No one silences us,”* she said.

She explained that the hosts took a moment to see if Kimmel would address the situation first:
*”When the news broke last week about Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, we took a breath to see if Jimmy was going to say anything about it first.”*

Whoopi emphasized the importance of free speech:
*”You can not like a show, and it can go off the air. Someone can say something they shouldn’t and get taken off the air. But the government cannot apply pressure to force someone to be silenced… we fight for everybody’s right to have freedom of speech because it means my speech is free, it means your speech is free.”*

### Kimmel’s “Controversial” Comments

The controversy began on September 15, when 57-year-old Kimmel discussed the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, and criticized Republicans’ responses.

Kimmel stated:
*”We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”*

These comments did not sit well with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who threatened “immediate action” against Kimmel, ABC, and Disney, accusing them of “deliberately misleading the public” by suggesting Robinson had right-wing leanings.

Following this, Kimmel’s show was pulled from the air, sparking backlash from the public, celebrities, and politicians, including former President Barack Obama and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Maher voiced his support during his monologue:
*”So Jimmy, pal, I am with you. I support you. And on the bright side, you don’t have to pretend anymore that you like Disneyland.”*

### How Can Kimmel Save His Show?

As of Monday, *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* remains off the air. However, there is a path for Kimmel to return: issuing an apology.

Sinclair Broadcast Group—the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group—has reportedly set forth demands for Kimmel to save his show. These include:

– Issuing a direct apology to the Kirk family
– Making a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk family and Turning Point USA

Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk in 2012, is a nonprofit advocating for conservative policies on high school and college campuses.

Charlie Kirk was tragically shot and killed on September 10 while hosting an event on a Utah college campus.

Kajol reveals if Karan Johar’s interested in launching Nysa Devgan

**Kajol Reveals If Karan Johar Is Interested in Launching Nysa Devgan**

*By Apoorva Rastogi | Sep 18, 2025, 04:42 PM*

Nysa Devgan, daughter of Bollywood stars Kajol and Ajay Devgn, has been the center of much speculation regarding her potential entry into the film industry. Recently, in an interview with journalist Shubhankar Mishra, Kajol addressed the rumors surrounding her daughter’s Bollywood debut.

When asked if Nysa had received any film offers, especially considering Kajol’s close ties with prominent filmmakers like Karan Johar, Kajol shared, “1-2 phone aaye hain. I don’t think she wants to be. But right now, there is zero percent chance.” This statement made it clear that while a few offers have come her way, Nysa is currently not interested in pursuing an acting career.

Despite the Devgan family’s firm stance on this matter, fans and industry insiders continue to speculate about Nysa’s possible entry into Bollywood. The buzz was further fueled earlier this year when acclaimed fashion designer Manish Malhotra posted a beautiful picture of Nysa in a lehenga on Instagram, captioned, “Nysa Cinema Awaits you.”

Kajol reacted to Manish’s post with heart emojis, and Nysa’s friend Orry commented, “Can’t wait for your debut @nysadevgan,” adding more fuel to the rumors about her potential debut.

For now, it seems Nysa Devgan is yet to make her decision about entering the film world, with her mother Kajol confirming there is no immediate plan for a Bollywood debut. Fans will have to wait and watch how her journey unfolds.

For now, however, it seems that Nysa Devgan is not planning to enter Bollywood anytime soon, much to the disappointment of eager followers.
