Meet Pakistan’s richest Hindu, his name is also in the Guinness Book of World Records for…, his name is…, net worth is…

This man also acted in a few Pakistani dramas and films like Yeh Zindagi Hai, Meri Jaan, Very Filmy, and Punjab Nahi Jaungi. Perwani has also served as Pakistan’s cultural ambassador to China and Malaysia.

Hindus form the largest religious minority in Pakistan, making up approximately 2.17 per cent of the total population, with the majority residing in Sindh. Among them, Deepak Perwani has risen to prominence as both an acclaimed fashion designer and a successful businessman. Deepak was born in 1973 in Mirpur Khas, a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan. He belongs to the Hindu Sindhi community.

Deepak started his career in fashion and slowly made a big name for himself. His flashy fashion life started in 1996 when he set up his own couture house, “DP (Deepak Perwani),” which specialized in bridal and formal wear. Over the years, he has been awarded many, both locally and globally, with, for example, being named the sixth-best fashion designer in the world in 2014 at the Bulgarian Fashion Awards. Additionally, he has won multiple Lux Style Awards, BFA Awards, and the Indus Style Guru Award. In fact, he is one of the most famous designers in Pakistan.

Apart from fashion, Deepak has also acted in a few Pakistani dramas and films like Yeh Zindagi Hai, Meri Jaan, Very Filmy, and Punjab Nahi Jaungi. Perwani has also served as Pakistan’s cultural ambassador to China and Malaysia.

In 2022, a report said that his total wealth was about Rs. 71 crore. That makes him the richest Hindu in Pakistan.

Deepak also made a world record. He created the world’s biggest kurta (a traditional long shirt). For this, his name was added to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Earlier this year, in an interview with Aamna Haider on her show Something Haute, Mr Perwani shared his candid views on the contrasting realities of life in Pakistan and India. He highlighted stark differences between the two countries, particularly in terms of freedom, happiness and infrastructure. He also pointed out how cities in India felt more pedestrian-friendly compared to Pakistan.

Perwani’s views have divided Pakistani social media users. While some accused him of being unpatriotic, others viewed his statements as a sobering reflection of reality.

Today, Deepak Perwani is seen as a symbol of success for minorities in Pakistan. His cousin, Naveen Perwani, a world-famous snooker player with international fame, is also among the richest people, with an estimated net worth of around Rs 60 crore.
