India's richest singer, charges Rs 15 lakh per concert, still doesn't own a house, name is..., not AR Rahman, Arijit Singh, Sonu Nigam, Diljit Dosanjh
Known for his soulful voice and energetic stage presence, this celebrated singer once captivated the small screen by joining a reality show hosted by Bollywood's beloved superstar. While his appearance stirred conversations in 2018, it's his musical journey that truly defines his legacy. With a fan base that spans continents, he commands packed arenas and delivers unforgettable live performances, which have earned him the title of Bhajan Samrat. The Bhajan Samrat Of Singing Community
Here we are talking about renowned singer Anup Jalota, popularly referred to as Bhajan Samrat, who was born on July 29, 1953. He began accompanying his father, Purshottam Das Jalota, who also sang bhajans, at the tender age of 7. Over time, Anup became one of the most renowned bhajan singers in India. Some of his most iconic bhajans include 'Aisi Laagi Lagan,' 'Main Nahi Makhan Khayo,' 'Rang De Chunariya,' 'Jag Me Sundar Hai Do Naam', and 'Chadariya Jhini Re Jhini.' His extensive record sales of bhajan albums have led to a significant net worth.
According to Bharat Ojha, who manages his financial affairs, Anup earns nearly Rs 2 crore each month, as he revealed to Dainik Bhasakr in 2018 regarding his concert earnings both domestically and internationally. He mentioned that Anup typically charges between 8 to 10 lakh rupees for performances in India, which usually last between 45 minutes to an hour. His team consists of six members: five musicians and one female singer. On average, they perform 12 to 15 concerts in India each month, translating to earnings that range from 20 lakh to 1 crore rupees. For international shows, Anup charges around 15 to 16 lakh rupees per concert and does 3 to 4 concerts monthly. He is particularly popular in countries with a large Indian diaspora, and the demand for his performances there is substantial, contributing to an estimated monthly income of 60 lakh rupees from abroad. Anup Jalota's Personal Life
Anup Jalota's personal life has also attracted attention due to his three marriages. In a 2024 interview with The Times of India, Anup discussed his marital history, stating, 'Sonali (Sheth) was my first wife, but we faced difficulties, leading to the end of our marriage. I'm happy she found a new partner in Roop Kumar Rathod. My second marriage to Bina (Bhatia) lasted only a year due to our differences and a lack of understanding between us. After experiencing lessons from these two unsuccessful marriages, I finally married Medha (Gujral), and we enjoyed a happy 21-year marriage. We have a son, Aryamann, who resides in New York. Sadly, Medha battled health issues and passed away in November 2014.'
Since Aryamann lives in New York and does not stay with him, the bhajan singer has sold all his properties and currently owns no home in India. The 71-year-old artist has expressed in several interviews that he wishes to spare his son the burden of dealing with the formalities of selling his father's house after his death. Anup Jalota also participated in Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 12 in 2018. He was evicted from the show after surviving for 6 weeks.

Watch: Garba on Burj Khalifa by Indian tourists stirs anger– this is how netizens responded
What began as a joyful moment atop the Burj Khalifa has now become a social media flashpoint. A group of Indian tourists was seen dancing to the popular Bollywood track Chogada on the viewing deck of the world's tallest building, with their clip quickly going viral after a Dubai-based content creator uploaded it (@the_walking_lens_) on June 15. Wearing matching outfits and performing Garba steps, the tourists appeared to be celebrating, but the video did not sit well with everyone. Within hours of being posted on Instagram, it had gathered not only views and likes but also a wave of criticism. Several users raised concerns about whether such acts were suitable in a public, international tourist space. Many questioned the group's awareness of local norms and pointed to the potential discomfort their actions may have caused to other visitors at the site. Watch the viral video here: One user commented, 'Why is this glorified? We must learn to respect the sanctity of public places.' Another added, 'Pathetic civil sense. Being so ignorant about the surroundings that it doesn't matter if people around them are getting bothered or not. Putting all Indians to shame on an international level.' Other users echoed similar thoughts. 'Why is the comfort of other visitors not being considered now? There's a fine line of difference between enjoyment and discomfort to others!' read one comment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A brain tumor threatens his life.

One user drew a comparison to conduct regulations in India, asking, 'If they can do Garba in foreign countries, can foreigners drink alcohol openly on the roads in their state?' Another highlighted the possible implications of such behaviour abroad: 'Chalo, UAE visa will be difficult now. We make sure our image is tarnished in every damn foreign country.' One user summed up the mood by saying, 'It's not proper etiquette to do this in public areas, as other people might get disturbed… we have to respect that.'
