Alia Bhatt on living on a budget; her London home and wish to own a private jet

NEW DELHI: Actor Alia Bhatt during an interview with Economic Times’ Panache magazine said that she is well aware of living her life within a budget. She also said that she does not understand a lot of business but she invests in mutual funds and bonds.

Bhatt said, “I can live within a budget. I don’t spend that much. My chartered accountant often tells me ‘Why don’t you spend more?’”

“I still don’t understand investing, but over the years, I’ve become keen to learn more. My home in Mumbai (Juhu) is the first property I bought. I invest in FDs and bonds. Mutual Funds are good,” she said during the interview.

She also said that she bought a home in London recently and that she would like to buy one in the mountains.

"A home in the mountains is a dream. I’ll fulfill it later in life. I had a dream to buy a house in London and I did in 2018. It’s in Covent Garden and my sister lives there part-time," she said.

She also wishes to own a private jet someday. Alia also mentioned that as a teenager she was thrifty with her expenses and that she, her mother and sister would visit London for their holidays during which she would often go to a store called Primark (known to be a budget store line across the United Kingdom) to buy her things in 5-6 pounds.

Bhatt said, “Even now I buy my pajamas from Primark. So what? They’re pajamas. How different can they be?”

Bhatt revealed her fascination for gym clothes and track pants. She also said that she splurges during holidays. “I also splurge on holidays but take one holiday a year - a New Year one. I spend on the destination and the hotel. I hate shopping when I’m on holiday,” Bhatt added.

It may be mentioned that Alia Bhatt had posted a picture of the Preamble to the Constitution of India, as a mark of solidarity towards nationwide students protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Alia posted a photo of the Preamble on Instagram with a caption that went: “Learn from the students.
