POWER DUO-NAMICS
Actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s marriage marks the coming together of two significant market titans. Their combined net worth stands at ₹800 crore approx., putting them atop the list of Bollywood’s most coveted duo. Here’s a look:
ALIA BHATT
The daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actor Soni Razdan, Alia has been the darling of brands ever since she made her debut with Student Of The Year (2012).
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, she connects with the youth of the country, which is why brands such as Kwality Wall’s, Lay’s and Frooti have roped her in as their brand ambassador.
In 2021, financial consultancy, Duff and Phelps valued Alia as the sixth most valuable celebrity in India, surpassing actor Salman Khan, who stood at 10th spot. She was estimated to possess a valuation of ₹517 crore. Sources report, Alia currently charges ₹15-18 crore for a project. In terms of personal assets, the 29-year-old owns a bungalow worth ₹32 crore in Bandra, Mumbai, and has a production house, Eternal Sunshine Productions.
RANBIR KAPOOR
The Kapoor scion, son of actor Neetu Kapoor and late actor Rishi Kapoor, comes from a wealthy family, and his net worth alone, according to Duff and Phelps, is ₹203 crore.
He is said to charge around ₹50 crore per film. Despite his mantra of not using social media and starring in fewer films, brands flock to him and he caters to a wide range of audiences via OPPO, Tata AIG, CocaCola and Oreo.

is owned by Ranbir and valued at ₹35 crore.
THE POWER OF TWO
Trade analyst Komal Nahta feels Alia’s net worth might be more than Ranbir’s, but popularity-wise, they stand equal. He adds, “They are in demand, doing top films. Brahmastra is one of the costliest films (₹500 crore) ever made in Bollywood.” Adarsh feels they are fit to be called a power couple. “When you are that, you command a particular price. There is curiosity about seeing them together, so it [fee] increases manifolds,” he says.
However, ad man Prahlad Kakkar differs: “There is no hype around people after they get married. See actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, for instance. A hike can only happen in the case of films.”
