The evening witnessed Mille Ashwarya, Publisher, Penguin House in a candid conversation with Gauri Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Mr. Puneet Chattwal, Managing Director & CEO, IHCL along with Mr. Hitendra Dave, CEO, HSBC were present for the occasion.

“Apart from the design details and aesthetics, the best part about the book is the family picture and the time we spent together trying to shoot them. It has a lot of images of our kids and life, because it’s my life in design.”

Gauri Khan

“In our house, Gauri is the busiest person at all times. When I ask her why do you work so much, she simply says that ‘it’s because it’s satisfying’. I think this book stands for that - Gauri following her dreams and doing what satisfies her.”
