Earlier this week, 17-year old author Neeha Gupta launched her second book Swapped in presence of filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and the panel discussion between them was moderated by film critic and senior journalist Aakanksha Naval-Shetye.
Published by Leadstart Publication, the book is a gripping tale of teenage dilemmas and friendship. “Friends are those who get you into trouble,” joked Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who added gravitas to the book launch. He also added, “youngsters must be allowed to discover what they're meant to become, over time.”
The event also saw the launch of a song 'It's a big world out there', which is part of the book "Swapped" sung by Neeha Gupta and Sidharth Bhambure, also a 12th class student, Neeha's classmate and a budding musician. Actor Maninee De Mishra and designer Archana Kochhar were present for the book launch.
Reserved, resilient Rachel and free-spirited fashionista Harleen are two regular high-school girls, who lead completely contrasting lives. Their lives chug along like those of most; nothing remarkable or out of the ordinary. Then one wild night, on a rocky beach, destiny intervenes. They discover that their innermost desire is to live each other’s lives. Family and close friends notwithstanding, they take a leap of faith and commit to a crazy scheme. Will their secret be revealed? Or will fate be in cahoots with their plan?
Notably, Neeha Gupta penned her first book at the age of 15 which was titled as Different which was published by Crossword's The Write Place.
