We are all more than familiar with the multi faceted talents of our favourite Bollywood stars. Apart from acting, they have not failed to surprise us with a plethora of other talents, and so many of them have taken our breath away. While singing and dancing come hand in hand with acting, there are some actors who have tried their hands at writing, and truth be told, they have come out with flying colours.
The journey of our favourite B town stars from stardom to the world of words is indeed noteworthy. They are one of a kind, and they unveil many hidden truths and other parts of their lives which are otherwise not known to us. Here are some of the stars who have put their thoughts into words, and we love them for it:

Twinkle Khanna’s Mrs Funnybones, The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad, And Pyjamas Are Forgiving – Funny Yet Unusual Stories
Her first book, Mrs Funnybones came out in 2015 and gained quite a lot of popularity. This book was true to its name as it was funny, and it also came with some strong messages. Her next book, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad came out in 2016, and it was a heartwarming amalgamation of four stories and is definitely worth a read. Her last book, Pyjamas are Forgiving was published in 2018, and though it did not garner a huge popularity, this piece is still worth a read as it is funny and also wise to a great extent.
Apart from these great talents of Bollywood, it’s on the news that Katrina Kaif, who recently said that her break p with beau Ranbir Kapoor was a blessing, will be penning a book soon. So, we can keep our fingers crossed and hope at least her book turns out to be better than the roles she opts for.
