Sameera Reddy was asked what is the largest amount of money she has spent in a single day. “ ₹23 lakhs at a Dubai mall,” Reddy answered. She blamed a personal shopper for this staggering sum.

“23 lakhs at a Dubai mall, just because they had one of those personal shoppers,” the Musafir actress said. “They are there for a reason, you know. I stay far away from them now.”

Sameera Reddy, who is now based in Goa, also spoke about her policy on investing right, advising listeners to invest through SIPs.

Asked if she has a piece of advice for people who want to retire early, she answered: “SIPs.”

“SIPs are the strongest way to go because you are entering at different points in the market. It won’t hit you when the markets go up and down,” she explained. Reddy added another advantage of SIPs - you can start as low as ₹500.
