Book Synopsis

What if your first love was someone you had never met but who touched every aspect of your life?

For Priyanka, that first love was Shah Rukh Khan. He became more than just an actor on the screen for her from the moment she first saw him. Riding a bike with a naughty smile in the song Koi Na Koi Chaiye, he swept her heart away. Since then, he became her companion and her inspiration through the unpredictable journey of life. For Priyanka, Shah Rukh Khan was a synonym for hope, resilience and unconditional love.

Unknowingly, Shah Rukh Khan has shaped her life's most pivotal moments, and with this book, Priyanka wants to express her gratitude to her childhood crush, her emotional anchor, and her beacon of hope. In this deeply personal and heartwarming book, she has woven together nostalgia, life lessons and more in a series of intimate letters. Each letter touches upon a different phase of her life, sometimes humorous, sometimes challenging, but in each letter, her love for Shah Rukh Khan and his influence on her life shine through.

Her childhood adventures, adolescent dreams, struggles of career and marriage and moments of loss and healing are both relatable and profound. In these letters, she depicts how Shah Rukh Khan's presence in her life turned everyday moments into something extraordinary. She paints a vivid picture of how Shah Rukh Khan became a part of her success story and how a silent screening of one of his movies reignited her will to live when she had given up on life.

These letters also explore a deeper curiosity. The curiosity about who the man is behind the superstar Shah Rukh Khan? Why is his presence universally comforting? And why does someone she has never met feel like home?

We have grown up watching SRK, and whether you are a lifelong SRK admirer or not, Priyanka's honest, humorous and heart-touching letters will take you on a journey of love, longing and the beauty of believing in dreams.

Because sometimes, a stranger on a screen can touch your heart in ways you never expected. And those feelings last a lifetime.
