‘My Gpay account is linked to hers, my OTPs come on her phone': Sara Ali Khan reveals how she manages finances
Sara Ali Khan recently opened up about her finances, sharing valuable insights into where she invests and who handles her accounts. 'I've learnt about the pie — basically, small things distributed in many instruments. My mom handles my money entirely, even my Gpay account is linked to her, my OTPs come on her phone,' said the Simba actor at the Times Now Summit 2025. When prodded about whether she receives pocket money, like all used to back in school, she shared, 'Forget pocket money, I can't book a ticket without asking her,' she said, adding that she generally invests in 'real estate, stock market, gold bonds, the usual.' Sara's revelation that her mother handles her investments brings us to a critical discussion that necessitates conversations surrounding financial literacy. Mukesh Pandey, Director of Rupyaa Paisa, told that in this day and age, it is no longer a matter of choice — the essential foundation of understanding financial instruments is a must now. 'Having even a basic understanding of key financial instruments like Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds, Public Provident Fund (PPF), Health & Life Insurance, National Pension Scheme (NPS), Share Investment Plans (SIP) will allow you to keep some control of your financial journey and decisions,jh' he said. According to Panday, India is still far behind in financial literacy. 'A SEBI survey found that only 27% of Indians are financially literate. This suggests that almost three-fourths of our population may be investing without fully understanding where their money is going and what risk issues a particular instrument is associated with,' he shared. Giving an example of mutual funds, Pandey said that various people have invested in them with their focus on returns, but are unaware of where mutual funds fit in the investment risk spectrum. 'They also won't know about exit loads, and of course, they probably do not know that there is a difference between equity mutual funds and debt mutual funds,' he explained. When it comes to fixed deposits, which are a relatively safe option, understanding the impact of inflation on real returns becomes crucial. Someone may over-allocate to Fixed Deposits, thereby harming long-term wealth. With even basic knowledge, many of these mistakes can be avoided. Today, digital accessibility has already made financial products a click away, but with that ease of access comes responsibility. 'Understanding how to benefit from compounding through SIPs, tax-saving opportunities through ELSS or PPF, or even knowing the difference between term insurance and an investment-linked policy can change your financial journey,' stressedPandey. Instead of just letting someone else manage your money, he believes it is crucial to create awareness around your money; ultimately, awareness is the biggest asset you could have. 'Consider that simply making a habit of 15 minutes a week to inform yourself about a financial concept will change the game of financial understanding and ultimately planning,' she said, adding that 'financial awareness is not about knowing all – it is about knowing enough and protecting your future'.

Sara's blue-bow moment turns heads
Sara Ali Khan, once hailed as Bollywood's promising new face after delivering early hits like Simmba and Love Aaj Kal, has recently faced a string of underwhelming films, particularly on OTT platforms. However, the young actress continues to make headlines—this time not for her films, but for her fashion statement. At a recent event, Sara wowed fashion watchers in a light blue strapless mini-dress that balanced elegance with a playful twist. The dress featured a clean and structured front that flaunted her toned figure, paired with sparkling heels and subtle earrings. Her neatly pulled-back hair accentuated the neckline, giving her look a breezy, contemporary finish. The real show-stealer, however, was the oversized bow at the back—an unexpected, dramatic element that added flair to the otherwise minimalist outfit. The look was red-carpet ready, capturing both style and simplicity in one silhouette. On the work front, Sara is gearing up for Metro… In Dino, a slice-of-life comedy-drama helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu. The ensemble cast is packed with seasoned actors like Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Ali Fazal—making it a challenging space for Sara to stand out. Yet, the film could offer her the perfect opportunity to redefine her trajectory and prove her mettle amidst veterans.

Is Sara Ali Khan's team spinning a middle-class image? Reddit's BollyBlindsNGossip admin gives us their take
Sara Ali Khan has charmed audiences with her relatable persona, from her auto rides to her confession that her mom, Amrita Singh, handles her finances. However, Reddit's community BollyBlindsNGossip states that this narrative is more than just a coincidence. According to the community, it is a carefully crafted tale spun by her team to keep her relatable and lovable in the eyes of the public. Also read: 'We don't believe Alia Bhatt is best actress even when entire media is on her side': Reddit community BollyBlindsNGossip When it comes to spilling the tea on Bollywood, Reddit has become the go-to platform, with r/BollyBlindsNGossip reigning supreme as the destination for juicy gossip and scoops from the glamorous filmy world. Hindustan Times got the inside scoop on the wild world of Bollywood grapevine through an exclusive interview with EccentricBai, the founder and moderator of r/BollyBlindsNGossip. The conversation was facilitated by Reddit India. There's often chatter about PRs seeding stories about their clients to fuel a positive narrative, while sometimes simultaneously tearing down other stars to elevate their own. So, how do you approach moderation? 'I haven't come across an intelligent PR Professional yet. We have blatantly (got) PR driven posts like praising a celeb for something. It is shot down by members by giving counterexamples. You can't promote a positive story about a celeb on Reddit. It'll be destroyed by counter facts,' EccentricBai (EB) tells us. Picking up a reference, EccentricBai adds, 'For example, Sara Ali Khan and her 'Middle class' attitude being promoted by her team is never appreciated here. Ananya Pandey's 'Improvement in acting' claim is also not bought by this Sub. Members manage to see through every PR move'. A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) In the interview, the moderator revealed that it's surprisingly easy to spot PR-driven narratives. 'It is not hard as PR is dumb. They don't understand Reddit at all. Even our members can spot orchestrated campaigns. The PR posts are laden with cliches, usually made by new accounts and posted on multiple Subreddits. It is easy to check the post history of any account. No one has ever run a successful orchestrated campaign on my Subreddit,' says EccentricBai, who started this Subreddit and has been with it since 2018. At the moment, the subreddit community has a total of 12 active mods, and boasts over 2.2 million followers. "This community is a melting pot of many conflicting ideas and people. Fans and anti-fans, Gossip mongers and cynics, Real insider sources and fake rumour spreaders, they all coexist here,' says the moderator. According to the moderator, the aftermath of Sushant Singh Rajput's passing marked an end to the culture of blind items on social media. 'One change I see is that Blind Items have completely stopped after Sushant Singh Rajput's death. If you remember, it was a regular feature in Rajeev Masand's weekly columns,' says EB. 'Most portals posted a blind everyday. Now Blinds are posted only by Instagram pages. They also pick hints from our comment section and weave a Blind item around it. People used to trust Blinds before, now most Blinds are seen as either rival PR's mischief or celeb's own team trying to create some controversy/discussions. I think, over the years, we all can see PR games clearly. I give credit to this Subreddit for opening people's eyes,' ends the moderator.
