Charmaine Sheh is set to return in the highly anticipated second season of the TVB hit, Queen Of News.
But before that, the 49-year-old actress takes on a new role – as a bank account manager in a commercial campaign.
According to a report by HK01, Sheh prepared for the shoot by studying the responsibilities of an actual account manager.
“If I didn’t take on this role, I wouldn’t have known an account manager has to be so sharp,” she said.
In the process, the Line Walker star picked up valuable financial knowledge, which she now hopes to share with others.
One topic she touched on was the importance of financial planning for children’s education.
“There weren’t services like these when I was younger. Even if I wanted to ask for help about funding my education, I didn’t know where to begin. It created a lot of stress for my family,” she recalled.
Sheh also stressed the importance of health coverage – especially relevant given her work often takes her abroad.
“When choosing insurance, I always check whether it covers me internationally. That way, I can focus on work wherever I am,” she said.
Sheh also makes time for regular health check-ups as part of her self-care routine.
Another major lesson? Planning for passive income and avoiding early financial missteps.
“Saving money is important, but many people save without planning – and then end up spending it all.
“Choosing the right plan lets you grow your wealth more flexibly,” she said, encouraging people to seek professional financial advice.
Now nearly three decades in the industry, Sheh is not only thinking about her next acting gig, but how she'd like to spend her retirement.
While remaining active, she hopes for a life of freedom and peace of mind – something she believes is achievable with proper planning and savings.
“Don’t wait till it’s too late,” she said. “Plan early, and live freely.”
