“When I married him, he was supposed to be some 108th youngest or richest British Indian according to Google. People forgot to google Shilpa Shetty, who was also very rich back then. Today, I’m even richer,” she said in an interview with Zoom. The Indian Police Force actor continued, “When you’re successful,  you want to have a man who’s not going to feel insecure, and you have to marry someone who’s going to be able to afford your lifestyle because otherwise there’ll be a whole Abhiman situation happening at home.”
