Mind Gunaji has also written a book, throw some light on this?
Before making my Bollywood debut, I was also a model and writer, and still write. I have written about 12 books. I am also the Brand Ambassador for Wildlife Forest Maharashtra Government. My book is mostly related to travel, birds and nature. My book, “Hawaii Mukhagiri” This project is by Uddhavji Thackeray. He has clicked aerial pictures of Maharashtra. He told me that if you write very well then you should also write on this project. We are also very good friends. I am also planning to do a photographers exhibition on my photography.
I also have a book, “Chanderi Bhatkanti”, in this I have written about my filmy journey. Before this, there is a discussion on the film “LoC”. When we were shooting in Leh Ladakh and I fell seriously ill. I am playing a doctor in this film. If you see, there is no doctor in the climax. Just during that time I had become so ill that I might have even died. And all this is written in this book, how I made my film journey after seeing ups and downs. I just kept on doing less, filmmakers always saw me in negative roles and offered me roles. I understood that I did not get many hero characters for Isis. Yes, I have played hero’s character in Marathi cinema.
