Having started her acting journey with the TV show ‘Uttaran’, Rashami Desai has now become a known name in the entertainment industry. From ‘Bigg Boss’ to ‘Dil Se Dil Tak’, she has appeared on several shows and left her mark with the versatile range of roles she performed. However, her journey has been far from easy.
Recently, Rashami Desai spoke about her financial struggles which left her homeless for 4 days. She had to eat Rs 20 meals to survive and slept inside her Audi A6. She had a debt of about Rs 3.5 crore. This was after she was granted a divorce from actor Nandish Sandhu.

This happened back in 2017 when financial stress merged with family disputes, causing her to block her family members.
“I had bought a house during that time. I had a loan of almost Rs 2.5 crore, and apart from that…I remember there was a total debt of Rs 3.25-3.5 crore on me. I thought everything was fine but then suddenly, my show was shut down. I was on the road for four days. I had an Audi A6 and I would sleep in that car. All my stuff was at my manager’s house. I was completely cut off from my family. Those days, rickshaw valas would have a meal for Rs 20. It used to come in a plastic bag which had dal and chawal mixed and they would give two rotis along with it. It would have some stones also but I ate that anyway. These four days were very difficult,” Mid-Day quoted her saying.
It was then that she began working constantly to be able to earn enough money to pay off her loans, which she was eventually able to do.
However, her “struggle” about sleeping inside her Audi A6 didn’t sit well with many people online who suggested that she could have sold off her car or rented it out for some extra money. They mocked her because for them, what she described wasn’t “struggle” in the true sense.
Have a look at some of the reactions to her story here:

It seems like she’s really trying very hard to sound like a struggling actress but failed eventually.

In this country where people are having “real problem”, this kind of complaints can hurt many people, sleeping in audi and telling that I am homeless is joke.
