Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' co-star Ridhi Dogra didn't track her money until divorce forced her to. Actress shares rule No. 1 for financial freedom
financial missteps
. Acclaimed actress
Ridhi Dogra
, known for her performance in the psychological thriller Asur, recently spoke about a time in her life when she completely neglected her financial well-being. During her marriage to actor Raquesh Bapat, her co-star from the television series 'Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?' Dogra admitted she lost track of her own money matters.
While appearing on Yuvva, Ridhi shared how, throughout her marriage, she believed everything was under control. She assumed that managing expenses was a shared responsibility between her and her then-husband. This sense of comfort, however, led her to stop monitoring her personal finances. Over time, she found herself uncertain about where her money had gone — a realization that served as a wake-up call.
Accepting responsibility, Ridhi eventually took charge of her financial life. She hired a female
investment advisor
, someone she could trust and speak to openly. Determined to learn, she asked her advisor the same questions multiple times until she fully understood. There was no room for embarrassment — only a strong desire to regain control over her future.

Ridhi emphasized that it's perfectly normal to feel lost at the beginning, but once a person decides to be financially independent, they must be fearless in seeking clarity. She encouraged others to keep asking questions until every doubt is addressed. For her, this wasn't just about money — it was a path to empowerment. Living alone, once unfamiliar and daunting, became a source of strength and self-discovery.
Following her divorce in 2019, Ridhi faced the challenge of solitude for the first time. In a previous interview with ETimes, she recalled how living alone was a completely new experience. Although married, she had always been surrounded by friends, loved ones, and even pets. After the separation, she was suddenly on her own, and that solitude, she said, quietly prepared her for the isolation of the COVID-19 lockdown that followed.
Despite the end of her marriage, she continues to maintain a respectful and amicable relationship with Raquesh. Their journey, which began in 2010 on the sets of 'Maryada', saw them marry in 2011 and part ways eight years later.
Ridhi Dogra, now focused on self-love, growth, and financial stability, was last seen in the family drama 'Kull: The Legacy of the Raisingghs.' The show, also featuring The Lunchbox star Nimrat Kaur, premiered on Jio HotStar on May 2, 2025, marking another milestone in Ridhi's evolving personal and professional journey.

Faisal Khan Claims His Family "Imprisoned" Him At Home Due To Schizophrenia
New Delhi: Aamir Khan's brother Faisal once again hit the headlines as he claimed publicly that he was "imprionsed" at home on a recent podcast show. Three years ago, Faisal said that he was "caged" at home as his family said he had got Schizophrenia. His recent remark prompted a response from Aamir Khan's family, issuing a public statement that he portrayed his family in a "misleading way." What's Happening During the Pinkvilla podcast show, Faisal Khan claimed, "Mujhe qaid kar ke rakha tha ghar mein ek saal (I was imprisoned at home for over a year) and they were saying I've got schizophrenia and I'm a mad person and I will harm society. JJ Hospital mein mujhe 20 din rakha gaya, test kiya gaya, general ward mein, mental logon ke saath (I was at JJ Hospital for 20 days, was tested in general ward, with 'mental' people)." This is not the first time Faisal has made such comment. In 2022, Faisal said similar things during an interaction with ETimes. "Qaid hone mein mazaa nahin hai (there's no fun in being caged). I have been caged once in Aamir's house. I don't intend to get caged again. I want to live free and flow like water." Faisal's response came when he was asked why he wouldn't be a part of Bigg Boss. "In Bigg Boss, everyone is pitted against each other, they fight, argue and then you're also given tasks. They play with you mentally. I didn't want to get trapped in that zone. They give you some money but by Allah's grace I don't need much money. So, I thought why should I get caged? Who likes being caged? Everyone likes a free life. That's fun, you know," Faisal had said. Faisal On His Equation With Aamir Khan During the same ETimes interview in 2022, Faisal Khan shared about his equation with Aamir Khan. Faisal had said, "Everything is okay between us. As an individual I take my own decisions. I am not a director who doesn't know what he has made. I have given my best and my producers have helped me with it." Faisal Khan began his career as a child artiste in the 1969 film Pyar Ka Mausam, where he played the younger version of Shashi Kapoor. Later, he did a small role Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, which starred Aamir Khan in the lead role. He and Aamir Khan worked as lead actors in Dharmesh Darshan's Mela (2000).
