All About the Money’s Diwali special will have Damani, Aima and Shanbagh shed a light on these apprehensions and provide their expert advice on how best to play the markets.

    The audience, comprising of housewives, retirees, investors and others will also be provided the opportunity to have their questions addressed by the panel.

    For those who believe in what the stars have to say, the show will also provide predictions for the financial year ahead by none other than Bejan Daruwalla. It was Daruwalla, in fact, who had accurately forecast the current rally last year.
