Meet Pushpa star Allu Arjun's wife, Sneha Reddy, never acted in films, runs her own business of..., has net worth of Rs...
In a jaw-dropping 24 hours, Pushpa 2: The Rule shattered records, soaring past Rs 282 crore at the box office—wagging tongues have even whispered of eclipsing Jawan and Baahubali 2. But while Allu Arjun's swagger fuels this juggernaut, the silent power behind the scenes is his wife, Allu Sneha Reddy. The roar around Pushpa 2 isn't just hype—it's historic. With that one-day haul, the sequel vaulted to become India's biggest opening ever. And at the center of it stands Allu Arjun, reprising his gangster-turned-hero role with ferocious finesse. His fee of a staggering Rs 300 crore isn't just money—it's legacy. Forbes confirms what insiders knew: Arjun is India's highest-paid actor of 2024, touching a lifetime fortune of Rs 460 crore. Who is she? Sneha Reddy doesn't chase limelight, yet her influence is undeniable. A Scorpio-born engineer who studied at MIT Cambridge and holds a master's degree in computer science from the US, she's driven by intellect and innovation. After returning to India, she took charge at her father's engineering institute, SCT Institute of Technology, steering academic excellence and placements. Her entrepreneurial streak gave birth to Studio Picaboo in 2016—a boutique photo studio in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Arjun celebrated her launch with a heartfelt Instagram shoutout: 'PICABOO! A startup by my wife… creating great pictures and memories for everyone.' Beyond the spotlight With over nine million Instagram followers, Sneha has carved her niche as a low-profile powerhouse. Her net worth—estimated at around Rs 42 crore ($5 million)—may not rival her superstar husband's, but it reflects something more potent: her independence. The power couple Arjun's empire includes a private jet, a sprawling Jubilee Hills bungalow, a lineup of luxury cars, and endorsement deals that fill bank accounts faster than royalties. With Pushpa 2's mind-bending success, his wealth is only set to swell. But the man at the centre of the storm stands firm because of the woman at his side. Their love story began more than a decade ago—an arranged-meets-at-wedding click moment that became legend. Engaged in 2010, married in 2011, they now parent two children: Ayaan (born 2014) and Arha (2016). Together, they share a journey rooted in love, partnership, and mutual respect. What to watch next Pushpa 2's opening triumph confirms Arjun's indomitable star power. Yet Sneha's narrative offers a richer subplot: a journey from scholar to entrepreneur, the silent strength in the shadows, and the woman whose unwavering spirit forms the backbone of the 'Pushpa' phenomenon. In a spectacle built on muscle and swag, it's her brains and balance that keep the structure from toppling. And for fans and critics alike, the invisible force behind the icon is just as fascinating as the man himself.
