Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello there, I am an Entrepreneur from Mumbai, debuting as a New Author this year. For the last ten years, I have been working on 16 different writing projects. Some them will get published very soon. I love writing. I love creating new stories that tugs at the heart strings of every reader, especially women.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
‘The Last Nautch Girl’ is my debut novel. The book is a historical romance, based largely on forbidden relationships. It covers some elements of intrigue, retribution and providence. It is also a racy, complex, action-packed tale of intertwining souls in a city that is well loved to this day. The initial idea for the book came to me when I was researching on temple dancers in the late 1800s in India, during the pre-Independence period. There are records of affluent prostitutes who, secretly, donated a large amount of their earnings towards financing the Indian Freedom struggle. At first, I began to write an outline around the idea merely for fun. Soon, I found that the story developed naturally into a romance. Several plot outlines later, the story and its characters have found a special place in my heart.
