How I Got Lucky


Book Description

‘I was with Lucky... Lucky Star. He showed me what he was wearing to the Cannes Film Festival. He’s given me an Exclusive.’ Raman Malhotra is thirty five, uninitiated in the matters of love, and endlessly confused about his sexuality. A journalist with The Weekly, his search for front page scoops come to a screeching halt when he’s assigned the Bollywood beat. Throw into the mix the shenanigans of an overpowering lesbian photographer, a dirt-swapping PR queen, a webcam model doling out sexual favours, and a rising Bollywood star. Raman’s blah existence is dramatically thrown off-kilter when he finds himself being pursued and courted by the bisexual king of Bollywood, Lucky Star. Puckered into a world of celebrity, malicious gossip, and meaningless shags—Raman wrestles with his sense of self, ideas of love, and the monstrous caricatures of entertainment.
