The upcoming movie adaptation features new cast additions alongside returning stars, including Jitendra Kumar, Sonal Chouhan, and Ravi Kishan.

"Reclaiming with a vengeance" – I feel that! After college, I barely read for pleasure. This World Book Day has inspired me to pick up a book again. Maybe I'll start with one of her recommendations.

Great actress and a reader too! Can't wait for Mirzapur The Movie. But honestly, her taste in books seems a bit niche. Would be more relatable if she suggested some popular Indian authors like Chetan Bhagat or Amish Tripathi alongside these.

The idea of finding margin notes in a borrowed book is so lovely. It's like a conversation between readers. We need more public libraries in our cities to encourage this culture of sharing books.

Good on her for highlighting Indian authors like Kiran Desai. We have so much talent here that often gets overshadowed by international bestsellers. Time to support our own!

In this age of reels and shorts, sitting down with a physical book feels like a revolutionary act. Rasika Dugal setting a good example for the youth. 👏
