New Delhi: More and more Bollywood celebrities are taking to penning books with Sonali Bendre Behl the latest to join the league with a book on parenting tips.

Several Bollywood actors have recently come out with books or are planning to do so in the near future among them being Anu Aggarwal, Twinkle Khanna, Emraan Hashmi, Shilpa Shetty and Shadaab Amjad Khan.

In her book “The Modern Gurukul: My Experiments with Parenting”, Behl shares her three principles of parenting which she says will help find a balance between tradition and modernity, and show how to raise a child in the digital age.

“This isn’t a conventional self-help book. It is an honest and sincere narration of my journey as a parent,” she says about her book, published by Penguin Random House.

When Behl’s son Ranveer was born in 2005, she gave up her career to play the role of a mother in real life. It was only after her son started going to school and she was confident of the quality of time she spent with him that she resumed her career.

She has since appeared on television as a judge on shows like “Indian Idol”, “India’s Got Talent”, “Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz” and “India’s Best Dramebaaz”, and a daily sitcom with Balaji Productions called “Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh”.

A few months ago, Khanna’s “Mrs Funnybones: She’s Just Like You and a Lot Like Me”, Aggarwal’s memoir “Anusual: Memoir of a Girl Who Came Back from the Dead” and Khan’s debut novel “Murder in Bollywood” were published.

Full of wit and delicious observations, “Mrs Funnybones” is based on Khanna’s popular column. The book, published by Penguin India, captures the life of the modern Indian woman.

In “Anusual: Memoir of a Girl Who Came Back from the Dead”, published by HarperCollins India, “Aashiqui” girl Aggarwal tells the fascinating story of her self-discovery, a near-death experience and amazing recovery besides details of the men in her life, from millionaire jet-setters to superyogis.

“Murder in Bollywood”, published by Penguin India, is a Bollywood crime caper by Amjad Khan’s son Shadaab.

Ayushmann Khurrana has also written a book called “Cracking the Code” in which he outlines a step-by-step guide to making it big in tinsel town, drawing on his personal experiences in Bollywood.
