Tara spoke about her condition during a conversation with Hauterrfly while discussing financial literacy, investments and the importance of understanding one’s finances. She explained that although she tries to stay involved in managing her money, dealing with calculations can often be challenging.
“I have a learning disability, a maths learning disability. It is called dyscalculia. I try, but more often than not I make a mistake,” Tara said, adding that her father and accounts team help her manage important financial matters.

The actress also stressed that it is important for women to understand their banking, paperwork and finances. Despite her difficulty with numbers, Tara said she continues trying to learn and remain aware of her financial decisions rather than completely distancing herself from the process.
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disorder that can affect a person’s ability to understand numbers, perform calculations and grasp mathematical concepts. It is sometimes informally described as “math dyslexia”, although dyscalculia and dyslexia are different conditions. People with dyscalculia may struggle with calculations, numerical information, remembering number sequences and certain everyday tasks involving numbers.

The actress also revealed that she has a diverse investment portfolio and is particularly interested in homes and real estate. She said she is still learning and often discusses investments with friends who have a stronger understanding of such matters.
Her candid admission has brought attention to dyscalculia and the fact that difficulty with numbers does not define a person’s intelligence, talent or professional capabilities.
