Nushrratt Bharuccha is currently basking in the success of her recently released horror film Chhorii 2. During the promotions of the film, the actress reflected on her college days and the financial struggles she faced back then, and how those experiences shaped her money management skills today.
Nushrratt Bharuccha recalls financial struggle
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Nushrratt was asked how she manages her wealth, especially in an industry where there isn’t always a steady monthly income.
“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 actor said.
She added that this financial discipline and conscious division of wealth came to her early in life, as her parents were going through financial struggles during her college years.
“So I was conscious of not spending his money. For 90 percent of my college life—I went to college for five years—I used to only spend ₹8 per day, and that was for travel. I would take the train and then the bus to college, attend classes, and come back home. The only thing in Jai Hind College which was free was water, so whenever I felt hungry, I would drink water,” she shared.
About Chhorii 2
Nushrratt Bharuccha returned for the sequel of Chhorii, directed by Vishal Furia. The sequel also features Soha Ali Khan in a pivotal role.
“The film doesn’t have a hit song. It doesn’t have any of those tricks by which we can market the movie. We have a great story and performances we believe in. Our intent is to try and make a good film,” the actress had said earlier about the film in an interview with Mid-day.
For Bharuccha, the messaging of a film is always secondary to the story and what it offers her as an actor.
“People have their own reasons for why they want to be actors. When I was starting off, people just wanted to act. I’ve always been a person who believes that if the story works, it works.”
Despite being wary of the horror genre, she was comfortable in the role, as it focused on what she called “human horror.”
“I’m somebody who can’t watch horror. But this film is not just horror, it is about people doing [horrendous] things to people,” she elaborated.
