World Book Day: A book is a window to the world, to a writer’s soul and to any universe you want to possibly go to. Books have a very interesting way of influencing people’s lives, sometimes while they are reading it and many other times it is after they’ve finished the book and look back to think on the things they remember from it.

Today, on World Book Day, a few of our favourite actors speak about their favourite books and how it influenced and affected them when they read it.

The book that influenced me the most is Raag Darbari by Shiv Lal Shukl. The side of my personality that is satirical and humourous grew in leaps and bounds once I read this book. There are so many other books as well. That is the beauty of book, every single one of them teaches you something or the other. राग दरबारी by श्री लाल शुक्लमेरा satirical और humour वाला साइड उभर इस किताब को पढ़ के। इसके अलावा कई किताबे है। हर किताब आपको कुछ ना कुछ तो सिखाती ही है

I read ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ at a delicate time in my life, my father introduced me to it. I read a chapter on faith and something shifted in me. It was the first thick non fiction book I completed after starting. I ended up gifting lots of copies to friends. I refer to it many times in a year.
