Arushi Gupta is a lawyer and die-hard romance shipper. She’s been writing love stories since she was 18 and has grown up on a steady diet of Rahul-Anjali, Geet-Aditya and Mr Darcy-Elizabeth Bennet with the belief that love conquers all. With her debut novel, she’s finally realizing her dream of being an Indian rom-com author, hoping to take Indian romance to the world. She spends her free time cooking up quirky yet relatable characters in her head, re-watching Friends (For the 1000th time), dreaming up new ways to include coffee in every conceivable food group and hosting her imaginary food show while experimenting with new recipes.
