Book description
Aasha Rani, the ravishingly beautiful 'Sweetheart of Millions', makes
one fatal career-move: she falls in love. Aasha Rani, the unrivalled
number one of Bombay cinema, seems intent on ruining her career-and her
life-blinded by a scorching passion that threatens to destroy everything
she has attained. Aasha Rani's story is that of a vulnerable, small-town
girl whose scheming mother pushes her via a never-ending orgy of blue
films and indiscriminate sex into the crass world of Bombay cinema,
teeming with vicious, preening stars and near-stars and insecure,
high-society celebrities: Akshay Arora, the reigning stud of 70mm and
the object of Aasha Rani's desire; Sheth Amirchand, the Don of Bombay's
underworld, under whose hallowed sheets her career is sealed;
Kishenbhai, the small-time distributor, who gives her her first break,
and his heart; Sudha, her younger sister, whose envy and hate of her
sister's success make her Aasha Rani's worst enemy.
