Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who entered the film world at just 15, recently spoke about how crucial financial planning has been in her career, especially given how unpredictable showbiz can be. Over more than two decades in the industry, she not only established herself as a successful actor but also ventured into entrepreneurship with her own fine jewellery brand.
In a discussion with CNBC-TV18, Tamannaah reflected on how managing money wisely is as important as earning it, particularly for people in the entertainment business. She stressed that actors may earn large amounts when they are at the peak of their careers, but without careful management and forward-looking strategies, a big income does not necessarily mean long-term security.
Tamannaah said that in her early days, it was her father who looked after her finances and helped her understand the value of investing at a young age. “My father took care of my finances then. He still supports and guides me but at that tender age, when I needed it the most, I had my parents looking into my finances,” she explained, underlining the role her family played in building her financial foundations.
Today, she says she maintains a diverse investment portfolio. “I have a really good balance between real estate, jewellery and a lot of other investments that makes it a very balanced portfolio,” Tamannaah noted, adding that this diversity helps protect her savings and grow wealth over time.
She also warned that many in her profession could find themselves in trouble later if they don’t prioritise saving and investing early. “Because for actors especially, it happens a lot that you might be able to consistently make a lot of money but if you don’t save it at the right time or if you don’t find ways of multiplying it, then you finally realise that not much of it is left,” she said, highlighting the need for financial discipline in a career with variable income.
