Geetanjali Kulkarni on leading a minimalistic lifestyle

In conversation with us, Geetanjali Kulkarni spoke about leading a minimalistic lifestyle, like any middle-class person. "I feel like I am a middle-class person. Mera bank balance bhi utna nahi hain aur meri rehne ki lifestyle bhi vaisi (lavish) nahi hain. I lead a very minimalistic life. I believe in saving money and reusing things. I feel it is a very important trait. I don't ridicule it at all and I am not cynical about it," said Geetanjali.

Enjoy 23 OTTs like SonyLIV, Zee5, Fancode, Lionsgateplay & 19 more OTTs and 250+ Live TV Channels at just ₹75.

The veteran actress further mentioned, "Of course, when I was young, I didn't respect it. But today, I understand it. When my parents would earlier ask me to switch off the lights, I used to get irritated. I used to feel why are they nagging me every time."

However, Kulkarni has realised that it is an important thing. "So I believe in it (being minimalistic) and everybody should do that. In today's world, we have to do that because there is so much consumption of everything. We have to be minimalistic and we have to understand that we cannot splurge so much money. We cannot splurge resources that are available to us. We have to do (things) like middle-class people do. I am middle-class and I don't feel I belong to any elite class."
