Actress Rashmi Desai recently spoke about her financial troubles in Paras Chhabra's podcast. She also discussed spending 4 days on the road and having suicidal thoughts.
I had a debt of crores
Rashmi told that she belongs to a simple family. Her mother worked very hard to raise her and her brother. She said, 'There were many ups and downs in my life. In 2017, there were fights going on in my family. I was very weak in terms of money. My income was zero. I had a debt of crores.'
I don't know how to use money properly
At the same time, Rashmi got the show 'Dil Se Dil Tak'. Talking about this show, she said, 'The journey of the show was interesting. I got good money with which I secured my future. But securing the future is not everything. I did not know how to use the money properly. Whatever money I got, all I knew was that I had to repay my debts and loans. But to build a future, steps like Plan A, Plan B have to be taken, I did not know that.'
decision to do 'Bigg Boss 13'
The actress further said that her mother was an ordinary government teacher. Whatever knowledge she had, she managed with that. But when Rashmi was going through a difficult time, she and her brother were also troubled. She was only focused on working, earning money and securing the future. She also bought a house. In this rush, she fell ill. It was at this time that she decided to do 'Bigg Boss'.
Rashmi said, 'I did not have any choice. I thought I will do 'Bigg Boss', I will get money. Then I will sit at home.' She told that she was the highest paid contestant of the season.
She used to eat food worth twenty rupees like rickshaw pullers
Rashmi also talked about the difficulties of debt and closure of the show. Recalling those days, she said, 'I was on the road in 4 days. I had an Audi A6 in which I used to sleep. My manager had all my household items. I was separated from my family.'
She told that she used to eat food worth twenty rupees like rickshaw pullers. In these four days, she realized that she never gave priority to herself. During this time, she got many lessons of life.
What kind of life is this? It's better to die than this
She was divorced. Her friends did not understand her. Her family never supported her decisions. She told that she got 'Dil Se Dil Tak' through a close associate. Rashmi further said, 'Then I completed my debt. Did many shows. I did not sleep. I was full of stress inside but did not show anything outside. I used to think, what is this life? It is better to die than this.'
Apart from 'Bigg Boss 13' and 'Dil Se Dil Tak', Rashmi Desai has done many other important shows. These include 'Uttaran' and 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 6'.
