Pooja Dadlani has largely remained away from the spotlight, but her long association with Shah Rukh Khan has made her a well-known name in Bollywood’s celebrity management circle. She has reportedly been handling the superstar’s professional commitments for more than a decade.
According to reports published by media outlets including Siasat and Moneycontrol, Pooja Dadlani is believed to earn between Rs 7 crore and Rs 9 crore annually for managing Shah Rukh Khan’s professional work. However, neither Pooja nor Shah Rukh has publicly confirmed the reported salary figure.
Pooja Dadlani Reportedly Earns Up to Rs 9 Crore Annually
Media reports suggest that Pooja’s yearly earnings as Shah Rukh Khan’s manager are estimated at Rs 7 crore to Rs 9 crore.
Her reported responsibilities cover a wide range of Shah Rukh’s professional commitments, including film projects, brand endorsements and business-related activities. Over the years, her role has extended beyond simply coordinating the actor’s film schedule.
The reported salary figure remains unverified and should be treated as a media estimate rather than an officially disclosed income.
Pooja Has Managed Shah Rukh Khan Since 2012
Pooja Dadlani reportedly started managing Shah Rukh Khan in 2012. Since then, she has been a regular presence alongside the actor at film promotions, brand events, public appearances and major industry gatherings.
Reports have also linked her work to business ventures and select operations associated with Red Chillies Entertainment and the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Her long-standing professional relationship with Shah Rukh has also brought her into close contact with the actor’s family and inner circle.
Pooja Once Worked With Deepika Padukone
Before becoming Shah Rukh Khan’s manager, Pooja Dadlani reportedly worked with Deepika Padukone during the making of Om Shanti Om.
Filmmaker Farah Khan previously pointed out Pooja while revisiting footage from the film’s sets. “Pooja Dadlani ko dekh rahe ho piche. She was Deepika’s manager at that time,” Farah said.
The connection is notable as Deepika made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, years before Pooja began managing the actor.
Pooja Dadlani Shares Her Birthday With Shah Rukh Khan
Pooja and Shah Rukh Khan have another interesting connection—they both celebrate their birthdays on November 2.
The shared birthday has been noticed by fans over the years, particularly because of Pooja’s long professional association with the actor.
Away from her work in Bollywood, Pooja is married to Hitesh Gurnani, who is associated with Lista Jewels. The couple reportedly got married in 2008. Despite her close association with one of India’s biggest film stars, Pooja generally keeps her personal life away from public attention.
