Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Nanda Bachchan now turns a writer with her debut novel ‘Paradise Towers’, based in an apartment building in Mumbai. It will be published by HarperCollins India which has acquired the Indian subcontinent rights.&nbsp;

To be published this year in October, the novel is said to have a multi-city release.&nbsp;

Here is the synopsis of the book:&nbsp; 
“Dinesh enters the Kapoor flat to find Lata, the enchantress who works at Mrs Aly Khan’s, carrying a hot case with freshly made gaajar ka halwa. On the first floor, the inquisitive Mrs Mody wipes the dust off her precious binoculars to better observe the building’s security guard. The Singhs get into their SUV, their four boys creating a ruckus – they are the newcomers, the outsiders. Welcome to Paradise Towers, an apartment building in the suburbs of Mumbai. Everyone here has a story to tell. Or maybe they have stories to hide."

Speaking about the publication to a leading daily, Shweta said, “The idea for Paradise Towers came to me one morning on waking up. This is not unnatural for me. I come from a family of storytellers. As children, we were encouraged to write and read and our imaginations were given a free reign. The concept of a book and the actual writing of it are two very different things. Writing this story down was daunting. Lots of second-guessing and labouring over words made up the process. I am excited to have my first book published but I am also anxious to know what the readers think of the microcosm that is Paradise Towers, and I hope they would come to be as invested in the lives of its inhabitants as I have come to be.
