Amitabh Bachchan Once Revealed How His Wealth Will Be Divided Between Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan’s Wealth Distribution Plan Resurfaces Amid Abhishek-Aishwarya Divorce Rumors

For weeks, speculation has been mounting about trouble in the marriage of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who tied the knot in 2007. As rumours intensify, past interviews and statements from the Bachchan family have resurfaced, adding fuel to public curiosity. One such statement gaining renewed attention is Amitabh Bachchan’s 2011 revelation about his wealth distribution plan.

In the resurfaced clip, the legendary actor disclosed that his assets would be divided equally between his two children—Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan Nanda. This progressive stance, made in agreement with his wife, Jaya Bachchan, challenges traditional inheritance norms, where daughters often receive less than sons. “When I die, whatever little I have will be equally divided between my daughter and my son—there is no differentiation. Jaya and I decided that long ago. Everybody says that a girl is paraya dhan, that she belongs to her husband’s house, but in my eyes, she is our daughter; she has the same rights as Abhishek,” Amitabh stated in the interview.

This revelation gains new significance considering Amitabh Bachchan’s estimated 2024 net worth of Rs 1,600 crore. As per his plan, Abhishek and Shweta will receive equal shares of this fortune, which indirectly extends inheritance rights to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Abhishek’s spouse. Reports further claim that ‘Jalsa,’ the iconic Bachchan bungalow, has already been gifted to Shweta, with an estimated value of Rs 50 crore.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a global icon and former Miss World, has built her own financial empire worth over Rs 800 crore. Her wealth is fueled by a successful film career, brand endorsements, and strategic investments. She owns luxurious properties in Mumbai and Dubai’s Sanctuary Falls while also making smart business moves, including a Rs 5 crore investment in a nutrition-based healthcare firm and a Rs 1 crore stake in a Bengaluru-based environmental startup.

As speculation about her marriage continues, Amitabh’s wealth distribution strategy and Aishwarya’s independent financial standing offer fresh insight into the unfolding situation. Will these factors play a role in the rumoured discord?
