Get a peek into the finances of Shilpa Shinde exclusively on Tellychakkar.
How important is money for you?
Money is not everything for me but money can sure do a lot of things. Money is needed for everything today and it can't be denied.
Are you an impulsive buyer?
No, I am a practical person and I have a control on my desires. I buy things only if it is worth. I don't get driven by anything.
What are the investments you have made?
I have made investments in property and insurance policies. I don't prefer to make a lot of investments as I believe in living for the moment.
What is your most expensive purchase?
My house on Malad Link road. I bought it two years ago for fifty five lakhs. I feel so proud to have bought a plush house in Mumbai all on my own.
Do you feel financially secure?
Yes. An actor's profession is such that you tend to feel financially insecure but I don't feel so. Having a house in Mumbai city is the biggest security.
Feeling financially secure or insecure is individualistic. It is all in the mind.
Who handles your expenses?
I handle my expenses. Currently I am the sole earning member of my family, so they leave it to me to handle my expenses. Sometimes, I do take advise from them.
What was your first salary? What you did with it?
It was Rs. 1,200. I earned it by doing internship as an accountant when I was studying in college.
How much money do you carry every day?
I don't carry more than Rs. 1,000 every day. I use credit and debit cards for my expenses.
Any advice for investors?
Investment is very important but one shouldn't go overboard with it. I don't understand why people cut out so much money from their present to use in future. I mean what is the sense in wearing diamonds when you have wrinkles on your face.
