On the occasion of National Book Lovers Day, we speak to actors who are passionate bibliophiles on their favourite reading nooks at home and how reading helps them unwind. Divya Dutta I have two favorite spots in my house for reading. One is outside my bedroom, where I relax with a cup of coffee, and the other is in my library, where I lie down and lose myself in a book.
This habit has been with me since childhood. Whenever I feel stressed, I pick up a book of any genre and immerse myself, letting go of everything else happening in my life. I remember once when Gulzar Sahab gave me his books.
I started reading around noon and didn’t stop until seven in the evening, so absorbed was I in that world. Aahana Kumra I live on a higher floor where the breeze is delightful, so I love to sit on my couch and read a book. There’s nothing like the joy of enjoying a cup of coffee while diving into the works of my favourite authors.
At the moment, I’m busy with the launch of my clothing line, which makes finding time to read a challenge. However, I’m looking forward to settling down with a good book very soon. It is the best stress buster.
Vineet Kumar Singh Reading a good book is like stepping into a wise person’s mind and experiencing their profound insights on a subject. It helps me see things from a new perspective in my own life. I love curling up on my sofa by the living room windows and immersing myself in a book on my days off from shooting.
