What is your most expensive purchase?

My car Swift that I bought three months ago for five lakhs is my most expensive purchase. Earlier, I used to travel by bus. As I was doing TV commercials and later this show, travelling by bus got extremely hectic. There were times when I even cried waiting for a bus at the bus stop.

Do you feel financially secure?

My parents have made my life financially secure. As far as my money is concerned, I feel financially superior to my friends. There are people around me who belong to my age group, they are better students compared to me but I am financially independent and earn much more than what they can. It is because of my profession.

Who handles your expenses?

My parents handle my expenses. I hand over all my earnings to my parents. Whenever I need money, I ask them for it. Our parents do so much for us. Hence, it is the duty of every child to give their earnings to their parents. I believe that they have an equal right on my earnings.

Do you invest in the stock market?

I guess my Dad invests my money in the stock market but I have no clue.

Any advice for investors?

By now, I think readers would have realised that I am not the right person for any advice related to investments.
