Richa Chadha has recently revealed that her investment in a mutual fund helped fund a part of her wedding when she experienced a "cash flow issue". The Heeramandi actor, who got married to fellow actor Ali Fazal in 2020, had the wedding only in 2022.
Speaking at a podcast UnStreeOType with Yuvaa, Chadha requested women to start investing so that they can fund their expenses, including their weddings. "Don't put the burden on your father or your mother for your marriage, start investing," she said, adding that women must invest in mutual funds, open demat accounts, and understand trading. Sharing an example of how investing helped her out of a tight spot, she said, "When we got married, I had to invest in a film also that we were producing and I suddenly had a cash flow issue -- something that typically actors don't have because they find a way around it. But then I had these surging expenses so I actually paid for one ceremony via a mutual fund that I had invested in during Inside Edge."
The web series was released in 2017. Interestingly, the actor also revealed that started investing around 2015-16 after the release of her film Masaan and continued to invest for only two years actively.
Moreover, Richa Chadha also advised women to have their own bank accounts. "You can have a joint account, but you must have an account that is just yours. Don't put all your money into one joint account and be sad when something goes wrong," she said.
Currently, Chadha and her husband Ali Fazal are expecting their first child in July. The couple made the announcement in February. In a post on Instagram, the couple announced: "A tiny heartbeat is the loudest sound in our world."
Chadha is gearing up for two highly anticipated projects -- Mirzapur 3,
and Metro In Dino which are set to release between June and September.
