Every star kid creates a certain curiosity about the lifestyle and the persona they carry. The general public is always eager to get a peek into their lives and stay attuned. They are surrounded by fame and glare from a relatively nascent age itself. But as Richard Peck said. ‘Fame is a funny thing; it’s like a secret – both are hard to keep’!
IPL Auction is one such platform where the masses come to know of not only the upcoming players but also draws attention towards the owners and their families alike. One such young woman on the block is Jahnavi Mehta, daughter of KKR Co-owner & actress Juhi Chawla and business tycoon Jay Mehta. Her presence at the recently concluded IPL 2025 auction held at Jeddah visibly stood out and reinforced her rising role in the family’s business ventures.
She has become a familiar face today and is the next in line to take over the prestigious empire. Although people anticipated she would join Bollywood, much like her mother, Jahnavi opted for the corporate route and strives to create a chord through her competence. She does have the perfect blend of being a ‘beauty with brains.’
Jahnavi bright presence at the IPL 2025 auction signals a new era for KKR, with the younger generation stepping up to continue the brand’s legacy. She is known to be deeply involved in the management’s operations and will definitely play an important role in shaping KKR’s future strategy, both on and off the field. With her strong upbringing, educational and business precision, and passion for the game of cricket, Jahnavi is well-prepared to be a major stakeholder. In a candid 2021 interview with The Indian Express, Juhi Chawla expressed her pride in seeing her children, including Jahnavi, take a keen interest in KKR and its operations.
With an insta bandwidth of 54.6K followers, the young woman maintains a rather private life and not highly active with posting her daily life updates for people to see. Images of Jahnavi post the culmination of the auction last year on Instagram and Twitter has been flooded with several comments, calling her cute and pretty to giving her different tags and nicknames. Good looks! Good looks! Good looks! As it’s said, any publicity is good publicity, and even better when its free and positive.
