The summer of 2018 right after I got pregnant with my second daughter. It was a very difficult pregnancy and after her birth in March 2019, I took a break to enjoy my time just being a mom to my two darling girls.

I currently have a layout for up to five books. This may change as time goes by as I always get ideas (sometimes dreams) and start to jot them down in my notebook.

I put both my daughters, Anya and Amara, name together and viola: “An” from Anya and “ara” from Amara became…..Anara.

The fact that it is a name common in both the Hindu and Muslim community was a bonus as well as both religions play a vital role in their upbringing like Anara Ali.

I get asked this a lot! I am a firm believer that no one is born evil. It is the circumstances in our environment that mould us into who we are.

By including a few chapters on his decision-making skills (and why it leads to so much carnage), I hope readers can feel not just hatred towards him but also a sense of empathy and understanding on why he leads his life this way.

I am fully aware that astrology is a much-divided topic in our society. Some believe in it, and some do not. To each their own.

For me personally, I have always connected with being a Capricorn. I for one hated being born on December 27th. It was two days after Christmas and 4 days before New Years, so I felt forgotten in all the hype around closing off the festive year. Also, it didn’t help that I was always the youngest in my class.

But it all comes down to perspective. After losing many close relatives in my life by suicide, I really value life and view every day as a blessing.

I also realized a lot of my complex personality traits derived from my zodiac sign which I used to shape Anara’s character as well as that of the Misery team.

She is disciplined, ambitious, very organized and has a very sarcastic sense of humour.

She also, like a lot of Capricorns I know, likes to hide her emotions. But like all things that stay bottled up, they eventually explode into a storm of tears, anger and very cruel words.

Her kindness and loyalty are unmatched. Her acts of service is how she displays her love to others. She is the rock for everyone in her life.
