She also talked about how one should always be aware of the negative stream of competitive behavior and the toxic standards it might give rise to. She said, "I don't think children should take any pressure at all. It's okay. It did not happen overnight for me either. It took a long course of time to save all that money and make the purchase."
Ruhaanika mentioned on her Instagram that her mother was saving all her finances for the last eight years and mapped out a financial plan for her. The actress's mother Dolly Dhawan said, "No kid should feel pressured. Being the older and wiser one, I invested systematically and it wasn't that Ruhanika just did a TV show and she minted big money. God willingly, things happened and it all worked out."

And, if you check my Instagram or YouTube, recording videos is my hobby."
