Shefali Shah Becomes An Author: Never Imagined Writing One

MUMBAI-Splendid Bollywood actress Shefali Shah has turned her personal musings into a book, saying she never imagined herself as someone who would write one.

Shefali humorously recalled how unlikely the journey was, saying it was “crazy enough” that she agreed with her “delulu publishers” to publish it.

“For someone who used to get zero in dictation, had multiple red scratches puncturing my essays, believed punctuation meant a generous spill of ellipsis, and didn’t necessarily think a capital letter had to start a sentence, it’s absurd that I was audacious enough to write not just a monthly budget but an actual book,” Shefali posted

“And was crazy enough to agree with my delulu publishers to publish it. Yes, I wrote a book. An actual, physical, hold-it-in-your-hands kind of book. This book is a perfect example of ‘THE AUDACITY OF BEING’,” she added.

The actress said she had always believed that books were written by important people who had something even more important to say, adding that she did not consider herself a literary genius.

Shefali revealed that she had been writing her musings in a diary and on whatever pieces of paper

She added that the response from her social media followers encouraged her to continue writing.

Shefali said she hopes the book becomes a bestseller but believes its success will ultimately depend on whether readers connect with it. (IANS)
