After a successful stint in Bollywood, Jaya Bachchan decided to join politics and in 2004, she was elected from Samajwadi Party as the Member of Parliament and she is currently completing her third term as the MP, representing Rajya Sabha. Now, as per the latest reports doing the rounds, Jaya Bachchan had submitted an affidavit at the time of filing for nomination for her fourth term and according to that document, she claimed to own assets worth Rs 1,000 crore jointly with her husband, megastar, Amitabh Bachchan. If her claims are true, she could possibly be India’s richest MP with an asset of 10 billion.
According to the reports published in the TOI, an affidavit submitted by Jaya stated that the couple owns immovable assets worth more than Rs 460 crore. Besides this, the couple jointly owns jewellery worth Rs 62 crore. The movable assets owned by them are close to Rs 540 crore.
