New Delhi: Twinkle Khanna has revealed that she has never shared any bank account with her husband Akshay Kumar and she had funded her children- Aarav and Nitara's education.
On her show Tweak, Twinkle talked about the importance of being financially independent and has never shared a bank account with her husband. She has always relied on her own hard-earned money and kickstarted her digital content company with her own money.
She shared that she has funded her children’s education. “I’ve always made sure that I’m the one paying for their education. I want them to say that my mother paid for my education, and not just fed me aloo parathas. 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,” she said on her show.
She also revealed that Twinkle said that she got her first salary when she was 17. “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,” she said.
Khanna also said that she is not a big spender and she believes in saving money. “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,” the author added.
Twinkle made her acting debut with Barsaat in 1995; and after her 2001 film Love Ke Liya Kuch Bhi Karega she quit her acting career.
