Is Rahul Mahajan Worth Rs 4000 Crore? How Rich Is Rahul Mahajan? How Much Money Does Bigg Boss 14’s Rahul Mahajan Have?
Is Rahul Mahajan really worth Rs 4000 crore? Well that’s a question, the answer of which nobody knows, not even Rahul Mahajan.
The reason being that Rahul Mahajan’s late father the former Union Minister Pramod Mahajan died very suddenly when nobody expected it.
Then Bibek Biman Maitra who was Pramod Mahajan’s secretary, also passed away very suddenly due to drug abuse.
The autopsy was conducted by a medical board headed by Prof T. D Dogra and the report released by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences
Sr Mahajan was the fund-manager and chief collector of the BJP in the earlier days, prior to the rise of the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah team.
Bibek was known for his lavish lifestyle and the parties he attended, but only after his death was this reported in the media. He remained a bachelor throughout his life. Maitra was Mahajan’s close confidante and used to handle all his financial matters. ALSO READ: Late South star Puneeth Rajkumar to be awarded Karnataka Ratna
Even Sr Mahajan didn’t know how much money he really had, because all his investments were handled by Bibek and two other chartered accountants, including Rahul Mahajan’s business partner in Mumbai.
Sources say Bibek had purchased or invested in a 5-star hotel in London and another in Switzerland, but nobody can confirm the same. These investments were made with Sr Mahajan’s money, which was “gifted” to him by various Indian corporates.
There were investments made in Airlines, IT companies, Tv channels and hotels, but the truth is all hidden because of Bibek’s sudden death.
It is said that Bibek was addicted to cocaine in the months before his death and was spending Rs 2 lakh per day on cocaine, all with Sr Mahajan’s money, which only he knew about. But again this is gossip and cannot be confirmed.
According to a Hindustan Times article, at the June 1, 2006 party at the late Pramod Mahajan’s residence, champagne and cocaine were ordered.
The cocaine came mixed with heroin and other chemicals. Rahul Mahajan and Vivek Moitra snorted the powder without any idea about its contents and both fell unconscious. A male servant also used cocaine.
The CFSL in Moitra’s viscera report to the Delhi Police found traces of cocaine and heroin — cocaine, morphine, codeine, heroin and procaine in the kidney, spleen and liver; ethyl alcohol, cocaine, caffeine and heroin in the intestines. It was a heady cocktail consumed by the three.
He had consumed both cocaine and heroin.
Harish Sharma, Pramod Mahajan’s secretary, was arrested on the charge of destruction of evidence.
Ganesh, a driver working at Pramod Mahajan’s 7 Safdarjung Road residence, too also arrested in this case.
Traces of cocaine were found in Rahul Mahajan’s urine samples while many white-coloured powder pouches handed over to the CFSL were found to contain heroin.
Traces of heroin were found in the blood test of Rahul who was hospitalised for several days.
The media used to pronounce Bibek Maitra’s name as Vivek Moitra. He always insisted that his name be pronounced as Bibek.
It’s not just his affairs and relationships that Rahul Mahajan is known for. There is a rumor that India’s biggest industrial house and India’s richest man paid Rahul Mahajan’s company (in which he was a sleeping partner) Rs 500 crore. But there is no proof of the same.
This matter became a big scandal and it was widely reported in the year 2003 by the Asian Age newspaper.
Rahul is also famous for his net worth and wealth and his extracurricular activities and party life and his daily expenses.
Tv actress Gehana Vasisth has alleged that Rahul Mahajan has got over Rs 2000 crore of wealth in property, shares, stocks, bonds and other assets. In fact, Gehana says that Rahul cannot count his own money!
These figures were quoted by the Economic Times in an article, years ago.
So how much is Rahul Mahajan really worth?
According to sources Rahul Mahajan is worth nearly Rs 4000 crore and most of it was inherited.
In fact, a company in which Rahul Mahajan was a sleeping partner in – India Online Network Ltd – got about Rs 500 crore investment from one of the biggest industrial houses in India between 1999 and 2003.
The same company which was into the ISP (Internet Service Provider) business was listed on The Stock Exchange, Mumbai and was oversubscribed many times over.
It also took a loan of Rs 20 crore from the IDBI Bank at that time, which ended up in controversy in the year 2003.
Mahajan was running a production house and did Tv serials for Doordarshan. There were allegations that his company owed Doordarshan Rs 15 crore, but company officials have denied all these claims.
Talking about his expenses, Rahul Mahajan had said that reality shows are helping him manage his expenses.
The 45-year-old, son of late politician Pramod Mahajan, was a participant on the dance based show ‘Nach Baliye’ with wife Dimpy Ganguly.
His uncle Pravin Mahajan – who shot his father in a fit of mad rage had claimed (according to an Economic Times article) that Sr Mahajan was worth more than Rs 20 Billion, but he never shared his money with him.
Rahul had said these reality shows have always come to him as a life-saver. “I have a very different career in TV. I think nobody has ever got so many opportunities. I became popular with ‘Bigg Boss’, got my life partner without spending a single penny from my pocket.
“Went to honeymoon when I was judging ‘Comedy Circus’ and now Dimpy and I are doing ‘Nach Baliye’, he had said in an interview to PTI.
So, I can say that my expenses are being managed by reality shows,” Rahul said.
“I was a pilot before and have never tried to dance. When I got the opportunity to be a part of ‘Nach Baliye’ and told my mother about it, she started to laugh. She said I have been doing everything which nobody in my family has ever done.
Asked whether he would like to follow his late father’s footsteps and join politics, Rahul said, “No, I don’t feel like. It’s something which I will never do.”
He has refused to join politics, though his sister Poonam Mahajan is a senior member of the National BJP – the ruling party at the Centre in India. He has said he “hates politics”.

MUMBAI: This morning we were pleasantly surprised when we opened our WhatsApp inbox to find three bikini images of actor Gehana Vasisth.

MUMBAI: Actor Rayya Labib who had recently shot for a Hollywood production was recently asked if she had any issues with doing bold shoots.
According to Rayya she does not mind posing nude for the camera if the script demands and the production and the director are thoroughly professional and all know their job.
“However, very often than not, film makers insert bold or nude or bed room scenes with absolutely no requirement or context to the story and the script. These are only to titillate the audience and are not in sync with the story. I will never do such scenes or movies with such scenes only intended to arouse the viewers,” Rayya said.

MUMBAI: Actor and producer Gehana Vasisth who runs her own production house today said she would really like Bigg Boss 16 finalist and winner of Marathi Bigg Boss, Shiv Thakare to work as her hero in her upcoming film.
Speaking to this website Gehana said, “The script of the film is ready. The story is very similar to the movie Jannat, everything is ready and the film is ready to hit the floors. The film is tentatively titled ‘Jai Maharashtra’. I want Shiv to be part of this project as my hero.”
Adding to this Gehana said she thinks Priyanka Chaudhary is a great actor and according to her, Priyanka and Shiv look very good together on screen as well.
“If she (Priyanka Chaudhary) is interested, I would love that she is also part of this project,” Gehana said.
Gehana feels that Shiv Thakare is super hero material and also considers him to be the winner of Bigg Boss 16.
“For me, Shiv is the winner of this season. I don’t care who wins finally, because there are other issues involved which I do not want to go into. But I think Shiv deserves to win and for me he is already the winner,” Gehana said.
Gehana whose real name is Vandana Tiwari, hails from Chirimiri in Chhattisgarh and spent her initial life in Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. She was an anchor for a Tv channel covering the 2015 Cricket World Cup and was seen on several TV chat shows.
She has done over 100 ads and featured in films like Filmy Duniya (Hindi), Luckhnowi Ishq (Hindi), Operation Duryodhana 2 (Telugu), BTech Love story (Telugu). She was also short-listed for Ekta Kapoor’s Lock Upp reality show Season 1, but did not go on air.
On the Tv front, she was introduced as an anchor in Sahara One Television Channel. She was seen in the serial Behenein on Star Plus and appeared as a VJ on the True Life show on MTV India.
MUMBAI: After maverick Instagram model Urfi Javed posted a photo of her backside in a black panty on Instagram, actor Rayya Labib hit out at her saying she has so much of Botox on her bum.
Tagging Urfi on Instagram, Rayya wrote: aare @urf7i you have used so much of #botox on your #buttocks. #bum ko bada karna hein toh learn from me. I have a natural #butt baby…..
While Urfi has not responded to Rayya’s latest barb, the “It’s Over” and “Lakme” actor does not leave an opportunity to rib the controversial model for the eccentric choice of clothes and her dressing sense.
Rayya said that Urfi likes to show off her bum, which is very small. “I can show her how to increase her butt the naturally without using fillers, Botox or other cosmetic treatment or plastic surgery,” she said.
Rayya will begin shooting next week for a new web series, based on the real story of migrating workers from North East states to Western and Southern states in search of employment.
MUMBAI: Actor Rayya Labib hit out at drama queen Rakhi Sawant for accusing her husband of cheating, saying that Adil Durrani is an honest man and that Rakhi is doing it only for publicity.
“While I do not know Adil personally on a one-to-one basis, I have known the family,” said the Turkish-Iranian origin actor.
“Rakhi is doing this only for publicity, to stay in the limelight. She just lost her mother. She should stay quietly at home in mourning. Instead, she is going around town giving interviews accusing her husband of cheating on her which is not correct. Adil is an honorable man. He may have been conned by someone else, but that does not mean he is going to cheat. He has spent a fortune and given Rakhi gifts worth several lakh,” Rayya told this reporter.
Sawant in an interview to E Times, spoke about the problems that she had been facing with her husband Adil Khan.
According to E Times, the Main Hoon Na star also requested the paparazzi to not conduct any interviews of Durrani or even interact with him as it was she who brought him in limelight.
“I don’t want you to take any interviews of Adil or even try to make him a big star. Usne industry main ana tha isliye mera istemaal kiya (He just wanted that to use me and enter into the industry.) He will not come to the gym and will be here to just give interviews, which I don’t want at all.”
She further added, “ Adil is a liar. He swore by the Quran that he will block that girl. But he did not do it and now that girl is blackmailing him. She has some dirty proof about Adil,” Rakhi was quoted by the website as saying.
However, Rayya rubbished all these claims. “I have known Adil’s family. He has spent lakhs on Rakhi, why will he cheat. He can just walk out. He does not need Rakhi for publicity. He can afford to produce his own film or web series. Why does he need a ‘dying star on its last legs’ like Rakhi,” Rayya asked?
MUMBAI: While Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan has broken all Box Office records, another upcoming film Dunki is also in the news.
And the latest media buzz claims that there could be a new actor as part of the film cast. Bigg Boss 16 contestant Priyanka Chahar Choudhary might be part of SRK-Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki claim reports, possibly generated by her fans.
Priyanka is one of the top and most-watched contestants on Bigg Boss 16. Host Salman Khan has also been heaping praises on the actor and also advising her from time to time.
While Bigg Boss 13 contestant Shehnaaz Gill is going to make her Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in the film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, reports surfaced about Priyanka being seen in SRK’s Dunki.
There were reports of Salman wanting to launch Priyanka in one of his projects as well, however, model and dancer Priya Soni who was asked about the possibility of her doing ‘Dunki’ said Priyanka is not Dunki material.
She may be a good reality show contestant, but films like Dunki and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan are not her cup of tea, Priya suggested, adding that these are rumours fueled by her fans as the show is nearing its end.
