8 reviews for Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh: India’s Lonely Young Women and the Search for Intimacy and Independence

  1. Himanshu Jha –

    Enjoyable read. Different perspective and interesting stories. Some chapters I liked more than others. Overall, I would recommend it.

  2. Anshuman Vipul –

    I expected more about Shah Rukh Khan himself. The book focused more on the women and their lives which was good, but felt slightly misleading.

  3. Mayank Raj –

    A unique perspective on modern India. The Shah Rukh Khan angle is clever. Very insightful analysis on the hopes and dreams of Indian women.

  4. Mrityunjay Singh –

    It had some interesting points, but I felt it dragged in places. Not as engaging as I hoped, but a decent sociological study.

  5. Harshal Vasudeo More –

    A bit slow to start, but it picks up pace. The interviews are the strongest part of the book. Gives a voice to the voiceless. I enjoyed it.

  6. Sushant Banga –

    A fascinating look at Indian women’s lives. Shah Rukh Khan’s presence is more of a backdrop, which was slightly disappointing. Still a worthwhile read.

  7. Yashwant Suman –

    I loved the insights into these women’s lives! It’s well-written and thought-provoking. I especially appreciated the cultural context provided.

  8. Manchi Prasanth –

    Incredible stories of resilience and hope! This book really opened my eyes to the challenges and triumphs of women in India. Highly recommend!
