Can fandom for @iamsrk become a research method? What can it reveal about the lives/loneliness of working women in one of the world's most gender unequal economies? I surveyed a diverse set of Indian women for nearly 15 yrs to find out. Order here: amzn.to/3EKc7tG

For ten years, I've regularly stood outside Mannat talking to tourists and fans.I met students dejected by exam results,heartbroken lovers, all oddly find healing in staring at their hero's home. Today, I really wish I could be outside Mannat in solidarity. #IStandwithSRK

I know nothing about the MCU and do not wish to. But Fawad Khan playing a rose farmer who feeds strong women Parathas is some wicked beautiful South Asian dream.

Yaar, Ranveer ji ki photos don't outrage our modesty.The latest labour force survey results on women's employment does. 17.4 percent of employed women hold regular salaried jobs. Case file karein? Time for reparations?

Happiest birthday #SRK! Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for helping me create this mad project; thank you for appreciating it and the true "economics of things"; I owe you so much. I'm pretty glad you were born :) May you always be loved. May you always be love.

For every Hampstead ka Raj, there is a Hardy from Pathankot. For every Simran seeking love and familial permission, there is a Mannu desperately seeking a livelihood and a house of her own. Incredible corrective to the NRI story. Loved loved #Dunki. Lutt Putt Gaya for @iamsrk

After more than a decade of research/writing, my 400 plus page love letter to Indian womanhood and @iamsrk is complete. Watch for details on release dates, cover and advanced praise here. Nervous and exhausted! @HarperCollinsIN

We become earnest when we sign books for the man who defined love for a generation.This note sits in his library somewhere. I hear he refuses to sign copies of the book if not signed by me. You don't need postmodern acrobatics to know how fab SRK is.31 yrs, one day and counting..

Pathaan is sophisticated in its silliness.It comments on the back-pain of being middle-aged, and identity politics,without taking itself seriously.Women shine and are super cool. Full feels and mad masala fun.We are lucky to live in the age of #SRK.

Happy #DDLJ day! Spare me the sociological commentary on toxic-toxic and tradition,I've grappled with them the past 15 years for the book. But please raise your hand if you've never fully recovered from this scene :)
