More than three decades into her career, Tabu has built a filmography that moves effortlessly between mainstream Hindi cinema, regional films and international projects. Now, with ‘Drishyam 3’ bringing her back as Meera Deshmukh opposite Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar, the actor is once again at the centre of attention. Away from the screen, her long-standing career has also translated into a sizeable portfolio of earnings, properties and other luxury assets.
So, how much is Tabu worth in 2026? Recent media reports estimate the actor’s net worth at around INR 22 crore, although the figure has not been publicly disclosed or confirmed by Tabu. Her reported income comes primarily from films and brand endorsements, with her decades-long career giving her a financial footprint that extends beyond acting fees.
A Career Built on Choice
Tabu’s wealth has been built over a long-running acting career that includes acclaimed films such as ‘The Namesake’, ‘Haider’, ‘Andhadhun’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and ‘Crew’. She has also appeared in international productions, including ‘Life of Pi’ and the television series ‘Dune: Prophecy’.
Recent reports have estimated her annual income at around INR 3 crore through films and endorsements, although such figures remain unverified. Her reported remuneration for ‘Drishyam 3’ has also varied across media reports, with some publications placing it between INR 2.5 crore and INR 3.5 crore.

The ‘Drishyam’ franchise remains one of the notable commercial chapters in her career. As Meera Deshmukh, Tabu plays the police officer investigating the disappearance connected to Vijay Salgaonkar and his family, giving her character a central place in the franchise’s narrative.
Homes, Cars And More
Tabu’s luxury lifestyle is reflected largely through her real estate and personal assets. She reportedly has properties in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Goa. Her Hyderabad bungalow has been described as a spacious residence with amenities including a personal gym and a fish pond. She is also reported to own a Mumbai apartment.
One Mumbai property has been reported to be worth around INR 10 crore, although valuations and details of her overall property portfolio differ across publications.
Her reported garage is equally luxe, with cars including a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi Q7, BMW X5, BMW 7 Series 730Ld, Toyota Fortuner, Mercedes-Benz 220 and a 1965 Ford Mustang.
With ‘Drishyam 3’ adding another major release to her filmography, interest in Tabu’s career, lifestyle and upcoming movies is likely to continue well beyond the franchise.
