I bought it three years ago for Rs 45 lakhs. Do you feel financially secure? Is there any one who feels financially secure? I do feel financially insecure sometimes but most of the times, I feel financially secure. Who handles your expenses? My father handles it entirely. You will find it really funny if I tell you that my father still gives me pocket money. What was your first salary? What you did with it? I earned my first salary long ago when I was in tenth grade. I acted in a play for which I got Rs. 100. I don’t remember what I did with that money. I must have bought chocolates and ice creams. How much money do you carry every day? It depends. I am not conscious about carrying a particular amount of money with me everyday. There are times when I carry very less money. Any advice for investors? Spend and invest smartly. Don’t waste money in buying unnecessary things.
