Mumbai: Actress Sara Ali Khan, who hails from the royal Pataudi family, in a recent interview revealed that she doesn’t like spending money frivolously.
She further shared that her finances are managed by her mother, Amrita Singh and her GPay account is also linked to her mom’s phone number.
“I am aware and mindful about where I spend my money. I don’t enjoy spending money frivolously. But yes, of course, I think a little bit of splurging, celebrating, if you want to, why not?” Sara said at the Times Now Summit 2025.
She added, “I have learnt about the pie. I have learnt that you should invest small amounts in different sectors. Of course, one is advised. My mom handles my money entirely. Even my GPay account is linked to her… The OTPs come on her phone.”
When the astonished interviewer jokingly asked Sara if she still gets pocket money, she replied, “Pocket money? I can’t even book a ticket without the OTP.”
The actress shared that she invests in real estate, stocks, and gold bonds.
Earlier, while promoting her film ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ in 2023, Sara revealed that she relates to the middle-class character she played in the movie when it comes to monetary matters.
Revealing Sara’s thrifty side on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, her ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ co-star Vicky Kaushal shared, “She was scolding Amrita ma’am. I asked what happened and she said, ‘Mummy ko akal hi nahi hai; 1600 rupaiye ka toliya le aayi hai. (My mother is so dumb. She has bought a towel worth Rs 1600.)’ She was really going at her.”
To this, Sara quipped, “Arre, 1600 rupaiye ka toliya kaun kharidta hai? Vanity van mein muft ke 2-3 toliye taang ke rakhte hai ye log, unhi me se koi use kar lo. (Who buys a towel worth Rs 1600? There are free towels available in the vanity van. She could have used one of those.”
Unlike other celebrities who prefer to spend on a lavish life, Sara is quite careful about her finances.
