Women must invest in mutual funds, open demat accounts, and understand trading, she said. Sharing an example of how investing helped her, she said, "When we got married, I had to invest in a film also that we were producing and I suddenly had a cash flow issue -- something that typically actors don't have because they find a way around it. But then I had these surging expenses so I actually paid for one ceremony via a mutual fund that I had invested in during Inside Edge."

She also revealed that she started investing around 2015-16 after the release of her film Masaan. She shared that she continued to invest after that.
Women should also have their own bank accounts, Richa Chadha said, adding, “You can have a joint account, but you must have an account that is just yours. Don't put all your money into one joint account and be sad when something goes wrong.”
