What inspired you to write a full-length novel, "Struggled till Last"?
Generally, the struggle of a celebrity is considered motivational and interesting. In my novel, the struggle of a common girl named Ruhi is also inspiring. Her immense struggle for survival motivated me to write this novel. The hardships she faced, the immense endeavour she put in, are commendable. Her life history is interesting and inspiring throughout. I wish the world to know about such a unique and untiring struggle.
Did you have any goals for this novel when you wrote it- to get published, or just to finish it?
No doubt, I want my book to be published. Such a strong character should not remain hidden. My only objective was to let the world know about the struggle of the youngster.
How did you begin writing? Did you intend to become an author or do you have a specific reason for writing each book?
I am writing since childhood. My previous Hindi book, ''Shayari meri Zuban'' is full of heart touching 'shayari'. Anything which is exceptional inspires me to write. This was a journey of a young girl going through darkness and sorrows which I have tried to explore.
What's more important - characters or plot?
Character is more important in my opinion. The way the character thinks or behaves changes the whole plot -- because in real life what happens to characters makes the plot.
What would you like to tell your readers?
The only thing I would like to say is, if a person is determined nothing can stop him or her from achieving their goals.There should not be any full stop to our struggle, it should be endless. Only then one can achieve what they want.
