Finished reading Rekha: the untold story by Yasser Usman. She has apparently played a courtesan in over 30 films! So methinks her entire allusion to Amitabh Bacchan as the important 'him' in her life and her earlier insinuations of an affair with him were self- serving to her carefully built image, cemented by 'Silsila'. Affair or not, she has learnt to finally deny it to the press now and move on beyond her doomed marriage to Mukesh the businessman, for whose suicide she was blamed. Now she is the quintessential diva and more reams of newsprint should be devoted to how she has financially supported her rather large family of sisters with not much help from anyone else. Well-written biography.
Plot spoilers ahead: Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford. When I read the sample I didn't know what the book would be about except that it was about a teen who'd tried to kill himself, who had a good sense of humour about it and was admitted in the psych ward by his parents. He called his shrink 'cat poop' and the story was to be about 45 days of his stay in rehab. I read it though and found out that he had fallen in love with his best friend( a girl) 's boyfriend - meaning - he was gay. And was shunned by both of them for it. This led to him slitting his wrists. At the rehab center, he realises he is gay, and another girl he gets close to as a friend commits suicide. Although it was all written in a humorous voice, the subject matter was very serious and it's not everyone who can read this book and enjoy it. It came up on my reading suggestions on Google play because I'd bought '13 reasons why' which by the way, I'm yet to finish.
