Kriti Sanon Reveals She Still Shares A Joint Account with Her Dad, Embraces ‘Middle-Class’ Roots

Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon recently opened up about her financial background, describing herself as “genuinely upper middle class.” During her appearance on Nikhil Kamath’s “WTF is” podcast, Kriti shared insights into her upbringing, emphasizing that despite coming from a middle-class family, she never felt the pressure of financial instability. Kriti revealed that she still maintains a joint bank account with her father, highlighting her modest approach to finances.

When asked about her choice of film projects, Kriti explained that she now selects roles based on her interest rather than financial necessity. “It’s not financial. I would definitely say I’m privileged. I come from a middle-class family, but it’s not like I’ve ever felt the need to work because I had to earn money. That wasn’t there. My parents were working, and I never felt the need. My parents never made me feel that I don’t have money,” Kriti stated.

On Being ‘Upper Middle Class’ and Handling Finances

Kriti also addressed the perception of being middle class and the trolling that often accompanies such claims. She clarified, “But I’ve genuinely been… upper middle-class, whatever… I have not been someone who has been extremely rich and wealthy. But I’ve also not been someone who felt, ‘No, no, no, I need to do this for money’. I have a joint account with my father. I have no idea how much money is coming in and going out. Even today. Now, I’ve started being a little, ‘Tell me how much is there’.”
