Commenting on the book, filmmaker Boney Kapoor said, \u201cSridevi was a force of nature. She was the happiest when she shared her art on screen with her fans but she was also a fiercely private person. Dhiraj Kumar is someone she considered family. He is a researcher, writer and columnist. We are happy that he is writing a book that befits her extraordinary life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanghamitra Biswas, Executive Editor, Westland Books, remarked, \u201cWhat attracted us to this book was the wealth of research behind it. Dhiraj Kumar\u2019s friendship with Sridevi and her family enables him to offer a unique insight into the inner world of the very private star. This book will make readers rediscover an icon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am delighted that the venerable Westland Books will be publishing my debut book. My literary agent, Anish Chandy made this happen. I am thankful for the permission and support of Boney Kapoor and his family, Latha and Sanjay Ramaswamy, Suryakala, Maheshwari and Karthik, Reena and Sandeep Marwah,\u201d said author Dhiraj Kumar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
