Jun 13, 2026It is popularly believed that since everything is available at the click of a button, people are becoming more materialistic these days. However, Charrul feels that it's a personal choice. “I don't prioritize material possessions, nor do I see the need for comparison. While there's a societal notion of a desirable lifestyle with certain comforts, like having a nice home and necessities, being materialistic is more about extravagance, like owning a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce. It all boils down to individual preferences. What truly matters are the essentials,” she said.
She stressed that she avoids following influencers or celebrities on social media and doesn’t entertain promotional posts or videos. She said, “Consumers are heavily impacted and influenced by the presence of influencers and actors. As insiders in the industry, we understand firsthand how things are portrayed and the effects they have on consumers.”
“If something fits my style or needs, then I might consider it, but I don't spend money just to keep up with trends or what others are wearing. Every penny counts, and I prefer not to waste my hard-earned money on unnecessary things,” she added.
