Tired of too many ads?
In a candid response to online comments, Charu said, “I keep giving you guys updates. People commented why I travelled by flight and not train. The brand invited me and insisted on booking a flight. Some even made videos of me shopping and said, ‘Yeh toh gareeb hai’. Pehli baat, maine kabhi nahi bola ke main gareeb hu. By God’s grace, I’m managing fine. I don’t want sympathy—I’ve taken a conscious break from TV to explore other things. That was my decision.”
She further shared the challenges of doing interiors within budget: “It’s not easy to have a budget-friendly home. Budget mein rehna hai aur achha bhi banana hai. When you have unlimited money, you can choose anything. But with a budget, every decision has to be thoughtful.”
Charu also revealed that she bought the home through a loan and is awaiting official documents from the bank. “The EMI I’m paying now is almost equal to the rent I was paying in Mumbai. Rent increases each year, but EMI remains constant—that’s the advantage.”
