The blue-eyed boy of Balaji Telefilms, Hiten Tejwani, is enjoying a fruitful span in his career by earning the desired name, fame and moolah. And managing all these three aspects of success is a far more demanding job, especially money matters.
Handling finances comes instinctively to this Sindhi actor. Reason being: his father was a bank employee and he himself is a graduate in Commerce and was about to take up a bank service before plunging into acting.
Rachana Trivedicaught up with Hiten to figure out how he fixes economic decisions.
We earn money to buy our needs. It is a basic necessity, thought it cant buy happiness. It can only afford material things like house, cars, food but not feelings and emotions.
"Gauri is the head principal at home"
The finances in my house are mostly looked after by my better half Gauri. Its not that I give her my entire earnings, but yes a major part of it. Normally shopping for household items and other daily necessities are filled up by my wife.
"Well nobody can be totally secure financially"
It's a human craving for money that can never be satisfied. Even I am not secure. We have to make the most out of the time that we have at our disposal, both work and money wise.
"I have invested in funds and life insurance"
These kinds of investments are very important as it gives you at least some kind of life security. But I don't like investing my hard earned money in shares. I am not afraid in dealing with stocks, but I am just not interested. I personally believe it's a kind of gambling. One moment you win everything and then suddenly you loose all.
"I am not at all an impulsive buyer"
I gauge the need of the situation and then do I shell the dough. I am not a spendthrift at all. I don't spend on myself but on other important provisions. Recently I bought a nice big house. My spending decisions are jointly taken by Gauri and me.
"I bought a Tata Indica with my first income"
It was such a good feeling to buy something with your own money. My costliest purchase would be my house at Malad. Though I am born and brought up in Mumbai, I yet think it's very difficult to buy good place for a living here. Thus, I really cherish my home.
