Firstly, tell us about the beautiful cover design of your new book 'To You, With Love'
A book’s cover is like the soul of the book. It should capture the essence of the book and should narrate the story without revealing much. The cover designed by the talented team at Penguin Random House for To You, With Love does exactly that. It summarizes the book, seizing it’s essence. After all, half of the time do pick books based on their covers!
Your first book, Something I never told you also happens to be romantic fiction. I really liked the character of Ronak. Why did you choose the same genre for your second book also?
My last book Something I Never Told You is a story of Love and so is To You, With Love. Even though both the books are unrelated the base of both the stories is the emotion -love because for me it is the essence of life. Every story has love in it, maybe in a different context but love is omnipresent. Some stories are centered around sibling's love others revolve around the love for parents, some talk about love for the country or family, and some are based on self-love. So, writing a story without this basic human emotion is impossible as per me. You will find Love in each of my writings.
In the book 'To You, With Love', the characters of Sahir and Ayra are very realistic and relatable. Are those characters inspired by someone you know?
I draw inspiration for not just the story but all my characters from life around me. I believe that God is an amazing storyteller and all of his stories deserve a lot of attention. So yes, not just these two characters but all the characters in the book are inspired by real people around me.
