Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore married the late Indian cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi in 1968 and both of them had a blissful marriage until he passed away in 2011. But one of the best reasons behind this successful marriage was the understanding both of them had with each other. 

Sharmila has now opened up about how the assets she bought with her own money have been in her name.

Sharmila Tagore recently became a part of the YouTube show Paisa Vaisa with Anupam Gupta where she opened up about managing her finances and assets. Talking about how she never shared her assets with her husband Mansoor aka Tiger, the actress said, “Everything that I bought, my assets as in houses, cars or anything material, jewelry… has always been in my name. It’s not been shared, not in my husband’s name. And what Tiger has, has been in his name and of course, he made a will,”

Sharmila also opened up about how in Islam they are not allowed to make a will but they had to think about it. “You can give it to non-heirs, but you cannot give it to your heirs… 25%, 50% like that. So that needs to be very well understood. We have a lot of land so that needs to be looked at and controlled and make sure that whose name… I have 3 children. Just make sure that everything is in order,” she explained.
