Professionally, it is difficult to sum up Priyanka Chopra in one word—she is a Bollywood superstar, pop singer, TV star of the popular show Quantico, debutant in Hollywood’s upcoming movie Baywatch, former Miss World, and now a regional movie producer. However, when it comes to her own money management, the one word that she uses for herself is “ant”. “When it comes to an everyday situation, I am like an ant. I keep putting money aside because I know that if I want to splurge, there is a big mountain of money that I can use.”
Chopra started earning when she was just 17 years old, but the lesson of save first, spend later, was learnt even before that. “I used to save during my pocket money days. But I am not a miser. For instance, I saved even in school when I used to get lunch money. If I was busy during lunch hours due to rehearsals, plays or extra-curricular activities, my lunch money used to get accumulated. When I had collected enough, I used to go buy a great outfit because in high school that was also important,” says the 33-year-old Chopra.
