In a recent revelation on the podcast 'UnStreeOType' with Yuvaa, Bollywood actress Richa Chadha shed light on how her early investments played a pivotal role in financing a portion of her wedding expenses with actor Ali Fazal.
The candid conversation highlighted Chadha's advocacy for financial independence, particularly among women, as she shared her personal journey of financial empowerment.
Chadha disclosed that her investment in a mutual fund became instrumental in covering expenses for one of the ceremonies during her wedding celebrations.
"Don't put the burden on your father or your mother for your marriage; start investing," Chadha advised, encouraging women to explore avenues such as mutual funds, demat accounts, and trading. Her own experience served as a testament to the benefits of prudent financial planning.
The actress began investing around 2015-16, following the success of her acclaimed film "Masaan." Notably, her decision to invest in a mutual fund while working on the web series "Inside Edge" in 2017 proved prescient, providing crucial financial support during her wedding preparations.
Recounting the challenges she faced, Chadha shared, "When we got married, I had to invest in a film that we were producing, and I suddenly had a cash flow issue."
Chadha stressed the importance of having personal financial accounts alongside joint ones.
"You can have a joint account, but you must have an account that is just yours," she emphasized, advocating for financial prudence and preparedness.
