My first job was when I was in standard 12th. I worked in my brother's company during my summer holidays and earned Rs. 3000 per month. From my first salary, I bought a gold ring for myself and gold earrings for mom.
The first car I bought was a Santro around three and a half years ago. I still have that car. In fact, it has been very lucky for me. The day I bought the car, I was offered a lead role.
My first claim to fame was when I was in college doing CA. I participated in an inter-college fashion show. Since I used to be a very geeky and nerdy girl, I would attend college and leave ASAP. Nobody would even notice me. But after the fashion show, I was all over. My pictures appeared in the college magazine.
The first holiday I went on my own was about 3-4 years ago. I went to Kerela with friends. I really had a great time. I am going to Dubai with friends soon. That's going to be my first holiday abroad. So I am looking forward to that.
I am born and brought in Mumbai so I have always lived with my family. I never had to rent a flat. Nor I have enough money at the moment to buy a house for myself. But hopefully, I shall in future.
