To keep myself occupied and positive I have indulged into gardening activities, cultivating my own vegetables and fruits. Due to the pandemic, work had halted for a long time, I was at home too. Financial management is key to live a successful life. I am blessed to have enough help and work which helped me in sustaining pretty well in this situation.”

I have always maintained that financial planning of every month has helped me in surviving smoothly without any added burden. This pandemic shows that money should not be our priority and we must use it cautiously. ”

Even if people think that film stars do not need money but like common people we do have EMI’s, family issues (day to day expenses), other lifestyle related expenses and some handy extra money for any uninformed and unforseen incidents. So it is always better to manage money systematically so that one need not worry about future.”
