It's that time of the year when people dig deep into their pockets to buy jewellery items to woo goddess Laxmi (the goddess of wealth)! A bevy of television actors are planning to invest in gold on Dhanteras Tuesday.

Here is what the actors plan to do on Dhanteras:

Aishwarya Sakhuja: This time I plan to buy an idol of lord Ganesha in gold as I am about to begin a new phase in my life (marriage), so I'm trying to 'patao' my favourite god.

Manish Raisinghani: Dhanteras is treated as a world shopping day. Apart from buying gold which is a tradition, I will be upgrading my laptop. So this Dhanteras it's going to be fireworks in my machine world and I am excited about it!

 

Nandish Sandhu: Usually I buy something in gold on Dhanteras and some gadget if there is anything interesting. This year, I will mostly buy gold coins as it's always a good investment. I am also planning to gift myself a new phone.

Sara Khan: I would go the traditional way of buying gold as a symbol of good luck and definitely wish my friends and family on this auspicious day.

Neil Bhatt: This Dhanteras I will be shooting so I guess I will be earning a lot of 'Dhan' that day (pun intended). But otherwise there is nothing planned as such. I wish to buy a new phone so I might buy a new phone on that day.

Rithvik Dhanjani: I am planning to take the three most important women in my life - my mom, sister and Asha (my girlfriend) shopping and I will let them buy whatever they want on this special day.

Gautam Rode: Dhanteras is usually a normal working day for me but yes I do try to buy something for my mom as she believes that the day is auspicious. It's a day of positive energies and the start of Diwali, which digs a hole in the pocket but hopefully brings a lot of good luck.
