Shweta Rohira releases her first book inspired by what she has learned from films
Every time she watches a film, actor Shweta Rohira makes it a point to by heart a few dialogues and the lessons she takes away from it, and applies them to real life situations. And she has now gone a step further and written her first book, Filmy Chick: Psychofilmising Life, around the lessons she has learned so far from films.
“It’s a millennial read. The book is actually born out of me. I personally learn a lot from every film that I watch. They teach us lessons to live our day-to-day lives,” says Shweta, who has been writing since her childhood.
“From childhood, mom had made it a habit that I write a diary and also read books. So, it has been a childhood dream to write a book one day,” adds Shweta, who also enjoys writing poetry. Would she someday want to publish a book of poems or venture into writing film scripts? “I have no idea as I live one day at a time. So you never know,” she quips.
The debutant author plans to send her book to all her near and dear ones, including her rakhi brother Salman Khan.
On the work front, Shweta was last seen in the play Bharat Dabholkar’s That’s My Girl, and Saurabh Pandey’s short film, Spotless. Asked about the kind of projects she is keen on doing next, she says, “I’m open to work in TV as well as Bollywood. Never say never... I did a short film and theatre and that worked out well. TV offers have started coming in but it has to be substantial enough.”
