Amid Cash Crunch, Richa Chadha's Smart Investment Helped Her On Her Wedding Day. Here's How!

Amid the hustle and bustle of wedding preparations, financial planning often becomes a crucial, yet daunting task for many couples. Between selecting venues, choosing outfits, and managing guest lists, an unexpected cash flow issue can turn excitement into anxiety. Sometimes, solutions come from the most unexpected places. This is the story of a famous Bollywood actress who found herself in a financial bind just before her wedding day.

Instead of panicking, she turned to a wise investment she had made earlier¡ªa mutual fund. This timely financial lifeline not only bridged the gap during her wedding preparations but also highlighted the importance of smart financial planning in the most joyful, yet unpredictable times of life.

We are talking about Richa Chadha, who is expecting her first child with actor Ali Fazal. She recently shared that during her wedding, she faced a "cash flow issue" but her investment in a mutual fund helped cover part of the wedding expenses. Encouraging women to start investing, Richa Chadha said in a podcast UnStreeOType, "Don't put the burden on your father or your mother for your marriage, start investing."

Richa advises others

Heeramandi actress advised women to invest in mutual funds, open demat accounts, and understand trading. Sharing how investing helped her, 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."

Richa Chadha revealed she started investing around 2015-16 after the release of her film Masaan and has continued to invest since then. She emphasized the importance of women having their own bank accounts, saying, ¡°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.¡±

In February, Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal announced that they are expecting their first child in July. In an Instagram post, the couple shared, ¡°A tiny heartbeat is the loudest sound in our world.¡±

Besides her personal life, Richa Chadha is also preparing for the release of Mirzapur 3 and Metro In Dino, set to come out between June and September.
