October 15, 2024: Alia Bhatt's Jigra is currently struggling at the Box Office, yet one cannot deny that she has come a long way in her Bollywood career. With a net worth now estimated at ₹550 crore, the National Film Award-winning actress started her career with much humbler beginnings.

Twelve years ago, Alia made her acting debut with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year (SOTY), starring alongside Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. While her role in the film didn’t garner rave reviews, Alia’s growth as an actress in the years that followed has been remarkable.
In an interview with Mid-Day, Alia revealed that she was paid ₹15 lakh for her debut role as Shanaya Singhania in SOTY. Interestingly, instead of keeping her first paycheck, she handed it over to her mother, Soni Razdan, saying, “Mamma, you handle the money.” To this day, Alia shares that her mother continues to manage her finances.
Fast forward to 2024, Alia Bhatt is now one of the highest-paid actresses in the Indian film industry. She reportedly charges anywhere between ₹10-20 crore per film. For Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with Ranveer Singh, she earned ₹10 crore, while for Gangubai Kathiawadi, her most successful film to date, Alia was paid a staggering ₹20 crore.
Her journey from earning ₹15 lakh for her debut to accumulating a net worth of ₹550 crore is nothing short of inspiring, reflecting her dedication, talent, and consistent hard work in Bollywood.
Alia Bhatt’s career shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to Jigra, which was co-produced by her production house Eternal Sunshine Productions and Dharma Productions, she has two more films in the pipeline: Alpha and Love & War. Jigra released on October 11, 2024, and also stars Vedang Raina.
