In a candid chat with Tellychakkar.com, he shares his investment ideas with us. Read on… How important is money to you? Frankly speaking, it is very important in today’s time. Initially, I used to not think about money but then in such a case people start taking you for granted. So, now I have understood the importance of money. Are you an impulsive buyer? No, I am not. First I study and dig out the information and then buy. What are the investments that you have made? Till now, I have invested money on properties. I have bought a pent house in Mumbai. I don’t believe investing money in shares and in future, I will invest money in gold. What has been your most expensive purchase till date? My house in Mumbai. Are you financially secured? Yes, at this point of time, I am financially secured but who has seen the future. Who handles your expenses? My dad and me. Since he has seen the world, he always guides me and I think that’s the way it should be. What was your first salary like? It was for my first TV show Arslaan in 2008, when I was paid Rs 50,000 per month. How much money do you carry every day? I don’t carry much cash along, as I am busy in shooting and can’t carry my wallet and bag everywhere. And in any case of emergency, I always carry a debit card along. Any advice for wannabe investors? Since economics keeps fluctuating, I believe that short investment works like investing in gold and properties. But always study properly and play safely.
