Writing a book is a new chapter of Mandira’s life

- Sangeeta Yadav

Actor, anchor, fitness enthusiast, fashion designer, motivation­al speaker — Mandira Bedi has dabbled in many fields and made a name for herself. Adding another feather to her cap, the 47-year-old is gearing up to write a book now.

“I’m writing a book that will chronicle my journey of selfexplor­ation,” says Mandira, adding, “They say a fool learns from his own mistake and a wise man learns from others’ mistakes. So I’m going to write about the mistakes and what I’ve learnt from them. Penning a book is a new chapter of my life. All this is happening because of hypnothera­py that I’ve been following now.”

When asked, about the chapters she will incorporat­e in her book, the actor shares, “There will be a chapter on gratitude. When I wake up,the first thing I do is say thank you to all the things that I have. I’m so grateful for my home, my husband (Rraj Kaushal), my beautiful son (Vir). I’m grateful that my phone still rings and people call me for work every single day.”

There is one chapter which is close to Mandira’s heart. “It is the one that brought a transforma­tion in my life — letting go which was a long, difficult process. Whether it was giving up on cricket anchoring or the insecuriti­es I have had. When I look back now, I feel free and talk about it without inhibition­s.”

Inspiring others to live a healthy life, Mandira will also write a chapter on fitness and will be sharing some exclusive healthy lip-smacking recipes from her cookbook. “I’ll be putting out my workout plan which I create, depending on my mood. If it is raining and you don’t have your gym equipment, there are other ways to make your workout fun. I will also be sharing some healthy recipes and fitness routine that I follow on a daily basis,” Mandira says.

There will be a chapter on gratitude. When I wake up, the first thing I do is say thank you to all the things I have. I’m so grateful for my home, my husband (Rraj Kaushal), my beautiful son (Vir).
