Women must invest in mutual funds, open demat accounts, and understand trading, she said. Sharing an example of how investing helped her, she said, "When we got married, I had to invest in a film also that we were producing and I suddenly had a cash flow issue -- something that typically actors don't have because they find a way around it. But then I had these surging expenses so I actually paid for one ceremony via a mutual fund that I had invested in during Inside Edge."
