Arjun Bijlani says friend cheated him of his 10-year savings, had saved money to buy a house: ‘Now my home is in my wife’s name’

Arjun also shared that he had sold his mother’s jewellery to get his first photoshoot done. He said, “The whole culture changed, my friends were from town and here I was lost because I knew nobody. Even to make my first portfolio that would cost Rs 8000, I had to mortgage my mom‘s gold. Later, I realised that more money is needed so I just sold that gold.” He later admitted, “When I started earning the first thing I did was to take my mom for jewellery shopping.”

Addressing divorce rumours with wife Neha Swami, Arjun clarified, “She is the nominee for everything related to me. Even the house is in her name. We both are joint owners.”

The actor also recalled his early days in the television industry and how he would save every little bit of money that he earned. However, while trying to buy a house, he was cheated by a close friend. He revealed, “Somebody cheated me with very big money. A friend told me that he has to do white-black of some money, and so he took cash from me and just vanished.” He added, “I lost around Rs 30-35 lakh and I think this was around 2010. I had saved all that money to buy a house.” Arjun further revealed that he never got the money back from the friend, who had lost all the money in gambling. The actor shared that he was only able to purchase a home after the success of his TV show Miley Jab Hum Tum.
