Who looks after your income?
My mother, father and my girlfriend (laughs).
Do you have any C.A to look after your money?
Yes of course, and I also have an investment manager!
So, do you blindly trust that person?
No, not blindly though but yes I have a kind of trust on him. I do keep a track of the companies and markets, but can't be totally into it.
Where does most of your income go?
I think it has to be clothes and traveling. We travel at least once a month, mostly abroad and sometimes in India too.
