Malvika Sitlani on facing the financial constraints after her dad left them

In a conversation with Shivani Pau for her podcast, A Millennial Mind, Malvika opened up about the darkest phase of her life when her family lost all their money and how they survived in a one-bedroom apartment after her father left them. Elaborating on the same, Malvika shared:

“We came into a lot of wealth, and that could have made me a very different person. But we lost it all and when I say ‘all’, it was like you were rich and now you are poor. When I was 21, dad left. We were in a four-bedroom, then went to a three-bedroom but couldn’t afford the rent. Then moved to a one-room apartment, mum slept on the floor, my brother slept on the couch, another brother on the floor, I was on the bed, and I started my YouTube career then.”

Moving from a four-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment

Malvika couldn't understand what was happening in her life. From a four-room house to a one-room flat, losing everything, having no idea about where her father had gone, life took a complete turn for her. Recalling how at 22, she and her brother tried to make money to pay the rent, Malvika said:

“Those tough times I remember telling my brother, please give me some time, there is something in content creation. I got judgements from family people that you should work, and get a real job. Beauty is my niche, and that is what I created. I remember in my one-bedroom, I had one window, the size of a bathroom window, from where the sun would come down and I had one ring light, which was all I could afford. Once I used to shut the camera, and I used to cry, I used to be so mad thinking why am I here? I touched 100k on YouTube in that one-bedroom apartment.”

“I never ever thought that I would be here because we have been childhood sweethearts so it was difficult to take that step. We were public and for any public figure, it is much more difficult. I couldn’t create content openly as I knew there is this huge thing that is happening. When I announced the same on social media, the support was unreal. That felt lighter.”
