She is also associated as a with Spellbound Productions, a company that earlier executed TVCs, Music Videos, and now engaged in Bollywood feature film production.
Being involved in the Bollywood film industry, she has been closely associated with several professionals and has an insight into the workings of the industry.
She used to frequent a café at Yari Road around which a lot of auditioning studios and film production studios are located. It was while sitting here that the idea of Kushi Café was born. The café's clientele are largely those involved in the entertainment business - writers, actors, technicians. Much of the book has been written while sitting at the café and most of the characters were inspired by regulars at the café, and some by people whom she interacted with at work.view less
