Pre-order the insightful memoir from one of the world's most recognizable women, celebrated for her boldness, multiculturalism, and activism. The author reflects on her upbringing, shaped by traditional and modern India, as well as influences from both East and West. The narrative begins with her childhood in India, raised by her grandparents and parents—army doctors dedicated to their family and philanthropy—before being sent to boarding school at a young age. It follows her teenage years in the U.S., living with extended family in the Midwest, Queens, and suburban Boston, where she faced racism. Her unexpected triumph in national and global beauty pageants, which launched her acting career, marks her return to India. Readers will gain insight into the challenges she encountered in the Indian film industry and Hollywood. The memoir is warm, funny, sassy, inspiring, bold, and rebellious, much like the author herself. Covering her two-decade career as an actor and producer, her role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, her father's battle with cancer, and her marriage to Nick Jonas, her story encourages a global audience to embrace their ambition and pursue their dreams with courage and hard work.
