Check out the HT Most Stylish writers/authors, who have launched their books in the recent past

Divya Dutta doesn’t need any introduction. Although the actor has mostly played supporting roles in Bollywood, her performances have always been powerful. Divya’s recent book, Me & Ma, outlines vivid details of her relationship with her late mother, who the actor says is mainly responsible for her success. An unconventional actor, Divya’s persona truly reflects earthy charm and quintessential rootedness. Divya rocks Indian wear with as much élan as she does with her powerful characters. Twinkle was last seen on the big screen more than a decade ago, but she never quit being fashionable. She has always been one of the well-dressed ladies of B-Town; be it a traditional Indian outfit or a flirty summer dress, she carries it off with equal élan. Although, she turned a professional writer relatively late in her life, Twinkle’s tongue-incheek writing style makes her stories fun to read. However, read between the lines and you’ll find she has the ability to drive the point home with ease. Her two books, Mrs Funnybones and The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad, exemplify this trait. Acclaimed actor, director, and prominent theatre personality, Naseeruddin Shah has more than 100 films to his credit and a number of acts under his theatre group, Motley Productions. He has won hearts around the world for his powerful performances on the stage and screen. Reading his moving and honest autobiography, And Then One Day: A Memoir, makes you respect the veteran actor all the more. In public, Shah has never looked anything less than dashing. You can find him dressed in all kinds of clothing, but his massive personality will always stand out, both on the screen and off it.
