I have saved enough money to finally attend a Masters course this year. So I’m using, what would have been my daughter’s college fund, to fund myself.”
Talking about the same, Twinkle shared, “I got my first salary at the age of 17 and it was a pittance. But it was enough to buy laddoos, I think. But I do remember my first significant paycheque and I put it down to buy a car, a silver Opel. I don’t even know if they make that car anymore. had to take an EMI to pay for the rest of it.”
Elaborating on how she is careful with her money and how she prefers to invest in herself, Khanna went on to say, “I live way below my means. I don’t spend money on anything. My family teases me and asks why I am working, if I am not spending my money on anything. I had to invest in myself. I needed start-up money and there was no one else investing in me at that point.”
Twinkle also disclosed that she had never shared a joint bank account with her actor beau Akshay Kumar. The actress said, “Never, not from the day I got married. It’s always been separate.”
