Young girls, who are the intended readers of the book, have picked it up, started reading it and are discussing it with their friends. It has generated a lot of interest within families which to me is the biggest success of the book. She said: "The response to the book has been phenomenal. Tisca's recent book 'What's Up With Me?' has garnered a lot of interest among young readers. He lived so fully and had such rich experiences," said Tisca. His writing has a fluidity which we can only aspire to.
"Khushwant Singh is a writer, whom I have been a fan of for very many years. She shared that her life is inspired by Khushwant Singh's writing in a major way. I also like 'A History of the Sikhs', being half Sikh myself," she told IANS. The Delhi one is familiar with the history of Delhi and the way it has been interwoven with the interplay of characters, it's something that stays with you, so poetic is the prose. "My favourite Khushwant Singh book is 'Delhi: A Novel' because I love the relationship between Bhaagamati and the protagonist which I think is autobiographical. Tisca reflects on her favourite books by the renowned Indian writer. She added proudly: "I am very proud to be related to him and that I have in some very tiny miniscule way managed to continue writing." He meant the books but I think it applies to everything." I asked him, 'Have you read all of these?' He said, '100 saal ka saamaan aur kal ki khabar nahi'. Tisca told IANS: "When I met him for the last time many years ago, I remember we had gone to the Sujan Singh Park house where he lived, there were mountains of books, like tall towers of books in his house. The actress recalls the time spent with the illustrious author for the last time at his home in Delhi. Carrying forward the lineage, she has penned two books 'Acting Smart' and 'What's Up With Me?'. The actor-author hails from the family of late celebrated author Khushwant Singh. New Delhi, Aug 10 (IANS): Actress Tisca Chopra is also an author and an avid reader.
