Nushrat Bharucha talks about her love for reading

I prefer fiction but I read non fiction as well. I have always loved reading Sherlock Holmes. I am a very moody person when it comes to books.

I read a book all night and complete it and at times, take such a long break that I forget where I had stopped reading. I love reading while I am travelling; it gives me immense pleasure. My book becomes my best friend while I am shooting or when I am not at home.

I feel each book takes you into another world, a world that you conjure up in your mind and that, I think, is the best part of it. You can imagine so much which normally, you never would. It creates possibilities and in doing that, it makes you positive in life.

Without our realising, each book moulds our thoughts and our personalities. The best book I have read by far is The White Tiger by Arvind Adiga, it was the first of its kind.u00a0
