I also do some TV shows from time to time. I have a popular column in the Times of India and Dainik Bhaskar, which I enjoy writing very much. I am a motivational speaker, something I took on as a hobby but has grown to me having given close to three hundred talks at corporate offices and colleges. At the same time, I enjoy doing some of the other work I do. I am primarily an author of books and shall remain so. We have had test readers read the book and they have loved it, calling it one of my best works. However, I am quite happy with the final draft. It was a tough book to write, given my limited initial understanding of the rural areas of India. I am really excited about Half-Girlfriend.
Three films in the past one-and-a-half year sounds like a lot, but I still don’t see myself as a Bollywood person.Įxtremely so. I thought it would be a unique challenge and so I did it. Through that, I had the opportunity to write the screenplay for Kick, a big-budget Salman Khan project. Kai Po Che (based on 3 Mistakes of My Life) and 2 States were adaptations of my own books. I have been lucky that my books have been taken up for filming, and four of them have been made and released as well. What’s going on there? Are you too Bollywood now? After your last fiction book Revolution 2020 (and non-fiction What Young India Wants), you have had three film releases. All I can say is there are lots of twists and turns in Madhav and Riya’s story. I really don’t want to say more as it will take away something from the reading experience. Madhav is from a small town, almost rural area in Bihar. The story is about Madhav and Riya, who meet in St. Because, in India, that is what most men get. Hence, I thought we needed a term like ‘Half-Girlfriend’.
Half-Girlfriend, to me, is a unique Indian phenomenon, where boys and girls are not clear about their relationship status with each other.Ī boy may think he is more than friends with the girl, but the girl is still not his girlfriend. What happens when two people from different classes fall in love is what the book is about.Īnd frankly, what is a ‘Half-Girlfriend’ anyway? Half-Girlfriend is about a boy from Bihar who doesn’t speak English well and falls in love with a rich girl from Delhi. What is your book ‘Half-Girlfriend’ about?
