Alia Bhatt made her debut with Student of the Year in 2012 and she has worked hard to carve a space for herself in the industry. However, in a recent interaction with Economic Times’ Panache magazine, Alia said that she believes in living “within a budget” and invests in bonds and mutual funds.

Talking about her believes in the merits of living within a budget, she said “I can live within a budget. I don’t spend that much. My chartered accountant often tells me ‘Why don’t you spend more?’”

Alia also mentioned her frugal lifestyle and revealed that she would often go to a store called Primark (known to be a budget store line across the United Kingdom) to buy stuff in 5 to 6 pounds. The Raazi actress further added that she still buys her pyjamas from the said store. Speaking matter-of-factly she said, “Even now I buy my pyjamas from Primark. So what? They’re pyjamas. How different can they be?”

Alia has no knowledge about financial matters however over the years she has tried to understand the subject and revealed that she invests in mutual funds, bonds, and FDs.

Talking about the same, she said: “I still don’t understand investing, but over the years, I’ve become keen to learn more. My home in Mumbai (Juhu, Mumbai) is the first property I bought. I invest in FDs and bonds. Mutual Funds are good, so I’ve been told.”

She further talked about indulging herself with fancy bags and gym clothes every now and then. She said, “The first expensive thing I bought (as a teenager) was with my own money -- a Louis Vuitton bag. I splurge most on bags. I love them. And gym clothes. I have every sort of track pant from Lululemon.”

She added, “I also splurge on holidays, but take one holiday a year -- a New Year one. I spend on the destination and the hotel. I hate shopping when I’m on holiday.”
