On World Book Day, Kubbra Sait, an Indian actress and author, reflects on her late-blooming love for reading, which she cultivated as an adult. Initially not an avid reader, Sait found comfort in self-help books, particularly enjoying works like 'The 40 Rules of Love' by Elif Shafak and 'The Artist's Way', the latter of which she credits with changing her life. Writing her memoir allowed her to express her unique perspective and has empowered her to live more fully. Sait believes that books can connect people and inspire hope, especially in challenging times, as exemplified by her appreciation for 'Humankind', which discusses humanity's capacity for unity in adversity. Through her journey, she highlights the transformative power of literature in understanding life and oneself.
