Shefali Shah Calls Herself A ‘Book Hoarder’, Shares Why

MUMBAI-Actress Shefali Shah said she enjoys collecting unread books as they give her something to look forward to during difficult days, marking International Book Lovers Day with a personal note.

Sharing a picture of herself with a stack of unread books on social media, Shefali Shah described herself as a “book hoarder” and explained the emotional comfort behind the habit.

“I am a book hoarder. I buy books knowing fully well that I have enough unread ones waiting for me at home. And yes, I am guilty of it… but I think I know why I do it,” she wrote.

She said books serve as a source of comfort during emotionally overwhelming moments. “Because life will have its slacks. There will be days when emotions feel too heavy, feelings feel too loud, or everything just feels a little… meh. And on those days, I know I have a friend waiting for me. A story I haven’t met yet. A world I can disappear into for a while.”

“Maybe that’s why I keep buying them. It’s not just books I collect. It’s little things to look forward to!” she added.

The actress, known for her work in films such as ‘Jalsa’, often shares glimpses from her personal life on social media. (IANS)
