He isn't stingy, neither is he a spend thrift, and he's conscious enough to keep his loved ones financially secure!Riya V Anandwala chats up with Eijaz on his investments. Do you believe in making investments?
Yes, I do believe in making investments. I have invested in a house and other things like mutual funds, equity shares but not a retirement fund or anything of that sort. How do you plan your life financially?
I am not at all a money minded person. I don't believe in being a miser. One thing which I give a lot of importance to, is tax! Are you an impulsive buyer?
Oh well! I am not at all conscious about my dressing and will always be found very casually dressed. Yes, but I am very particular about what I wear on screen. I go for all my work related shopping. My work is my priority, personal life comes next! What do you mostly buy?
Well, as I said I am a very casual person off screen, I spend on my tracks and T-shirts for my workout sessions. I have a few things which I have kept for my personal use, like my cycle which I love! Other than that it's is my laptop that I treasure and also my Sony Ericsson mobile phone. I always opt for the best electronic gadgets in the market, that's because they last longer. Have you bought a car?
Yes, I do have a car and it's on loan.
How do you plan your loan?
Well, I will tell you this incident which happened with me. I had taken my car on loan from Global Trust Bank. All my cheques and also the PUC of my car was done from there, and the bank defaulted. So I had issues with the bank and they took two long months to rectify it. So now I have become very careful about loans! Do you believe in insurance and have you insured yourself.
Yes, I certainly have insured myself, and I belive in it too. All I know is that the day I die, my sister will be very rich! My sister because, my brother is well settled and my dad has made enough, so by default it's my sister! How much do you end up spending every month?
I have all my three meals outside. So at 2.00.am there are very few places which are open so I end up going to five star hotels and the other places which are open at that hour. So a lot of my hard earned money goes into that. And nowadays I am shopping for jackets for my new look, so all that amounts to a lot.
Are you involved in share business?
No, not at all, I am not those types, I find it akin to gambling.
Are you a self made man or live on your family's money?
Aahhh... Self made man. And no man can deny that, no man!
