Last year, a report published by the Deccan Herald ranked Jaya as the third richest Rajya Sabha MP out of twenty-seven.

TRS MP Bandi Partha Saradhi was the richest of all, with Rs 5,300.21 crore, followed by YSR Congress' Ayodhya Rami Reddy with Rs 2,577.75 crore and SP's Jaya Bachchan with Rs 1,001.63 crore.

Despite Jaya's relatively low profile in the film industry in recent years, her return with Karan Johar's 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani' in 2023 marked a significant comeback.

Conversely, Amitabh remains a prominent figure in both televisions, with appearances in 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' and film, with recent and upcoming projects such as 'Ganapath,' 'Kalki 2898 AD,' and 'Vettaiyan.'

Jaya Bachchan's journey in politics has been notable, having served as a Rajya Sabha member since 2004. Her renomination by the Samajwadi Party underscores her continued significance in Indian politics. She has served multiple terms representing Uttar Pradesh in the Rajya Sabha.

As Jaya Bachchan embarks on her fifth term in the Rajya Sabha, her financial declaration reaffirms the Bachchan family's formidable presence, not only in the realms of entertainment but also in the broader socio-political landscape of India.
