Shaleen Malhotra is very articulate; perhaps that is the training from his MTV Roadies days. The handsome, dashing and mesmerizing actor who plays Arjun Suryakant Rawte in Arjun – Har Yug Mein Aayega Ek on Star Plus may not be that good an investor, but shares with us on how he manages his expenses. Read on to know more about Shaleen. How important is money to you? A lot of people say that money cannot buy you happiness, and relationships are more important but all those people talking about are actually earning moolah also. I feel money is very important to fulfill one’s needs, earn status, feel secure and live a comfortable life. Money is very important, but if I speak about my priorities, it is not more important than family values and respect towards my own people. Are you an impulsive buyer? Yes. Thank God I am shooting for Arjun (Star Plus) at the moment and keep myself busy or else I would be purchasing something or the other. What are the investments that you have made? It is too early to talk about this, but I have invested in a small property and some gold. What has been your most expensive purchase? I own a car. That has to be my most expensive purchase so far. Do you feel financially secure? I do not feel financially secure as of now. Who handles your expenses? Unfortunately, I handle my own expenses. I wish someone could handle my expenses as I am bad at it. What was your first salary? My first salary was Rs. 600 that I earned while anchoring a mall activity. How much money do you carry every day? I am a poor man (laughs). Your advice to new investors? I am a very wrong person to advice people on investment matters.
