Bollywood actress Kajol has done it again—this time, not just for her fashion sense and upcoming movies, but for her financially prudent approach to saving money. In a recent episode of Koffee with Karan, Kajol and her husband Ajay Devgn spoke candidly about how she spends and why she doesn't splurge on designer handbags but put it into fixed deposits (FDs).

Key Highlights:

Fashion Choices:

For formal parties and events, Kajol wears "very expensive things," but for casual use, she is inclined toward comfort over luxury, buying things from unknown brands and online.
Her recent look—a Payal Khandwala-designed dupion and mulberry silk vintage satin weave jumpsuit in olive green—demonstrated that she possesses a unique sense of style, blending vintage glamour and modern sensibilities.
She accessorized with chunky gold earrings, a showy emerald ring, and mismatched wooden bangles, keeping her style chic and down-to-earth.

Spending Philosophy:

"I would put money into a fixed deposit instead of spending money on something that's very expensive, that's not going to bring me anything," Kajol said, showing her practical side.
Ajay Devgn teased the daily delivery of inexpensive parcels at home with a nod to her love of bargains and comfort.

Upcoming Projects:

Kajol is gearing up for her debut horror film, Maa, releasing on June 27, 2025. The film has already generated buzz, with Kajol putting to rest her controversial statement that Ramoji Film City was "haunted," assuring fans the premise is safe and professional.
She is also featured in 'Sarzameen,' along with Prithviraj Sukumaran and newcomer Ibrahim Ali Khan, whose release is postponed.

Travel and Lifestyle:

Kajol also added that she spends on indulging in vacation, food, and lifestyle, and her favorite places are Rishikesh, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Ladakh.
"I'm not a spendthrift—I never will be," she declared, confirming that she believes in spending her money on things that bring her joy.
