Trending Desk
During a recent interview, Nushrratt Bharuccha opened up about facing a financial crisis and revealed she used to survive on Rs 8 per day. Read on.
Nushrratt Bharuccha is currently basking in the success of her latest film Chhori 2, alongside Soha Ali Khan. The actress never fails to make headlines with her powerful performance and vocal opinions. Known for movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Nushrratt recently opened up about facing a financial crisis in her family, revealing she used to survive on Rs 8 per day.
During her recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Nushrratt Bharuccha recalled how she manages her wealth in an unstable profession where her next job isn't guaranteed. The Dream Girl actress revealed that she is the sole breadwinner of the family and always tries to keep herself on a tight budget.
Shedding light on her struggling days, Nushrratt stated, 'Very early on, I had decided how much I would spend in a month, my basic needs and everything that is left after that is automatically sent to investments and savings. The money never comes to my account. The accountants are instructed to send the money to the wealth manager to invest it."
The 39-year-old actress further revealed that she is 'scared' because her parents are old and depend on her. 'I am scared because my father is close to 70, my mom is 62, and my grandmother is 92, and they are all on me. I need to have the backup, the pool of money required when god forbid, something happens," she added.
Nushrratt admitted that this financial discipline is nothing new for her, as she experienced a difficult period in her childhood and witnessed her parents go through a financial crisis. The actress revealed she has always been frugal with her spending, saying, 'I have made my world small. When I would travel to Jai Hind College from Juhu…my dad was facing financial difficulty at that time, after he got cheated in his business."
She added, 'So, I was conscious of not spending his money. 90 per cent of my college life, I went five years that college, I used to only spend Rs 8 per day, and that was spent on travel. I would take the train and then the bus to college, attend classes and would come back home. The only thing in Jai Hindi College which was free was water, so whenever I felt hungry, I would drink water. "

Is Apoorva Mukhijas Net Worth Rs 41 Crore? The Rebel Kid Reacts To Viral Claims
New Delhi: A post about Apoorva Mukhija's net worth is making waves on the internet. The viral claim suggests that the star influencer earns Rs 2.5 lakh every day and has built a Rs 41 crore empire. A post by an IITian further fueled the discussion. On X (formerly Twitter), user @digitalsangghi shared a note highlighting how society values content creation over academic achievements. The post ignited a debate on the evolving definitions of success and societal achievement. Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as "Kaleshi Aurat," has finally broken her silence. She took to her Instagram stories to clarify that the claims are inaccurate. The post she shared read: 'According to Business Today, Apoorva Mukhija makes Rs 2.5 lakh every single day, and with her savage online alter ego 'Kaleshi Aurat', she's built a ₹41 crore empire, charging up to ₹6 lakh for a reel ad and ₹2 lakh for a 30-second story.' Reacting to the post, Apoorva wrote: 'Galat hai bhai????' The Rebel Kid's Alleged Net Worth The viral post by the IITian stated: "Studied 14 hours a day to crack India's toughest engineering exam, gave up home, friends, cousins, sleep, and dreams – got into IIT, then fought for 4+2 years with CGPA nightmares, lab viva trauma, and placement tension. Today? Not even 100 people know me." The post then contrasted this with Apoorva's online fame: "Meanwhile... reels, red lipstick, semi-nudes, and abusing openly, using BC-MC as filler, can build a ₹41 crore empire. World's truly fair." The post sparked a flurry of reactions, with many users criticizing the need to compare two entirely different paths. One user commented: "You studied 14 hours a day for IIT, got selected, and will get a good job – that's what you chased and achieved. Kudos to you. She chose fame, must have worked hard for it, and got what she chased – kudos to her. Comparing apples and oranges is ridiculous. That's the reason for our misery." Apoorva was recently seen in The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar. Earlier this year, she made her big-screen debut in Nadaaniyan, starring alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor.
