They stood there, reading bits of the book and looking at each other with tears in their eyes; the words seemed to be resonating with them.

Prajakta was pretty excited too. Too Good To Be True, a romance, is the 31 year old's debut as a writer. This is the latest feather in her hat; Prajakta is already a social media star and an actor.

When she finally made her appearance, her fanbase, clutching copies of her book for the signing, greeted her with...
