Naturally, fans might be keen to know what the actor does with her earnings. The Student of the Year star has now opened up on some of her priceless possessions, investment strategy and more.
Alia shared that she knows to ‘live in a budget’, in a recent interview with a media publication. The actor stated that it has been something she has been used to since she was younger, because she never bought expensive things.

The 26-year-old also said that she did not understand investment, but over the years, she has been eager to learn more. She stated that her home in Juhu, Mumbai, is the first property she bought. Alia revealed that she invests in fixed deposits and bonds, because she was told that mutual funds are a ‘good’ investment option.
The actor also stated that the most expensive thing she bought as a teenager was a Luis Vuitton bag, and that bags are something she splurges the most on. The next in that category is gym clothes, with Alia sharing that her sister Shaheen feeling she has a ‘sickness’ for athleisure, telling the actor, ‘You’re not allowed to spend more than this’.

When asked about her ‘fantasy buys’, the actor stated that a private jet would be a luxury. The Udta Punjab star added that a home in the mountains is a dream she hopes to fulfill later in her life.
