“Keep a small open library at home. Displaying books can go a long way in inculcating the habit of reading” says Samta Sagar
Popular TV actress Samta Sagar, who is seen essaying the role of Gudiya’s mother Sarla in the &TV show Gudiya Hamari Sabhi Pe Bhari, is an ardent book lover. Books are as important to her as the air we breathe! She also writes and creates stories which she would want to see manifesting in her own life.
This World Book Day, actor and writer of &TV’s Gudiya Hamari Sabhi Pe Bhari, Samta Sagar shares, “I remember, there was a time in my life, when I wouldn’t step a foot outside my house without a book in my hand. I feel peaceful when I read books. It takes me to a different world. During my childhood, Premchand and Saratchand stories were a part of every household in the country. That culture is somewhere missing today.”
She further adds, “This World Book Day, I recommend the young generation to read stories by Premchand, Nirmal Verma, Anton Chekhov and writers who belong to a similar league. Pick up any of their books; each story is so compelling, it will give you a different perspective towards life. Parents must encourage their children to read more often. You can keep a small open library at home. Displaying books can go a long way in inculcating the habit of reading.”
Ravi Mahashabde has a collection of 5000 books in his library
Renowned television name Ravi Mahashabde has been instrumental in carving a niche for himself, not only in the television industry but also in the digital space. Actor and writer of &TV’s Gudiya Hamari Sabhi Pe Bhari, Ravi hails from a background that is rich in literature, art and drama. He is an avid reader who also ignited his passion for writing. While life for him essentially began on stage, he inherited the passion for literature from his parents. Owing to this love for literature, Ravi has maintained a collection of more than 5000 books in his library, and he knows all of them by names.
On the special occasion of World Book Day, Ravi Mahashabde encourages you to cultivate the habit of reading. He shares “I developed a habit of reading quite early in life through my father. We are a family that loves to read and be surrounded by books. We have at least 5000 books if not more in our Indore house, and my father has read almost all! I love reading short stories. I think they are the best when it comes to retaining a person’s interest, especially that of a new reader. You can finish them quickly, and the learning you derive will be of immense value to you as an individual. One need not necessarily have to finish thick volumes to call himself or herself a reader. You can start with as tiny a book as you like because all books alike are our best friends!”
