Aasha Rani, the ravishingly beautiful 'Sweetheart of Millions', makes one fatal career-move: she falls in love. Aasha Rani, the unrivalled number one of Bombay cinema, seems intent on ruining her career--and her life--blinded by a scorching passion that threatens to destroy everything she has attained. Aasha Rani's story is that of a vulnerable, small-town girl whose scheming mother pushes her via a never-ending orgy of blue films and indiscriminate sex into the crass world of Bombay cinema, teeming with vicious, preening stars and near-stars and insecure, high-society celebrities: Akshay Arora, the reigning stud of 70mm and the object of Aasha Rani's desire; Sheth Amirchand, the Don of Bombay's underworld, under whose hallowed sheets her career is sealed; Kishenbhai, the small-time distributor, who gives her her first break, and his heart; Sudha, her younger sister, whose envy and hate of her sister's success make her Aasha Rani's worst enemy.

Starry Nights aka Bollywood Nights,

This review is from: Starry Nights. D Shobha (Paperback)
Once I started reading it I could not put it down. shobhaa De is a very good writer. It is so easy to get caught up in what she writes she is so discriptive that you can just picture every single scene in the book. I highly recommend this book. There is a lot of india language in it, but you do not need to be able to know what it is, because as you get into the book you just learn to understand and you figure it out what she means. If you have any instrested in India and thier culture you should read this book.
