Mumbai, Feb 5 (IANS) Actress Saiee M Manjrekar, who made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan-starrer 'Dabangg 3', has opened up on her holistic upbringing, revealing that she first wanted to be an investment banker.

"My mother (Medha Manjrekar) is a naturopathy doctor. Upbringing wise, she has given me a very simple and nice upbringing. And I’m so happy about it. For her, studies was everything. She wanted me to finish my studies, which I haven’t done yet," she said.

Saiee further added: "And my father is completely artistic -- do what you want, do what you love. And I wanted to be an investment banker at one point. So, I was always in school and tuition. And family values are very important to me."
