Money.
That's what drives everyone in the final analysis, whether in the glamour world
of acting or the hard grind of scripting and producing. Cashin' In sits down with
TV celebs to know well they handle their financial matters, and tracks their spending
patterns. Rajeev Mehta of Baa Bahu Baby is a veteran actor who has also
been seen showing his comic timing in the laugh riot Khichdi. In
these days and times when money is the driving force Rajeev says he has never
given much importance to money in his life. Read on to know his views on money.
How
important is money for you? Money has never been a priority for me. I never
considered it as a very important factor of my life nor did I let it rule my life.
Are
you an impulsive buyer? Yes, I am an impulsive buyer but I have not bought
something that I regret. Even if I spend money buying stuff impulsively I don’t
feel anything wrong about it. I don’t feel bad or regret about anything I do in
life.
What are the investments you have made? I have never
made any investment in my life. What is your most expensive purchase? The
LCD that I bought recently is the most expensive purchase of my life. Apart from
that I have not purchased any expensive luxury, not even a car. Do you
feel financially secure? Yes, I do feel financially secure. There is no
reason to feel financially insecure. Who handles your expenses? Since
I am a single, I myself handle my expenses as there is no one else to handle it.
What was your first salary? What you did with it? My first salary
was 750 rupees which I earned by working in a shipping company. I spent it on
my monthly expenses. How much money do you carry every day? It
depends. I may carry a huge amount like Rs 50,000 and sometimes just Rs 5,000. Do
you invest in the stock market? I don’t even know how it works. Who will
take the headache of investing in such things? Any advice for investors? Since
I myself have never invested I don’t think I am the right person to give advice
on this.
