Goodreads asked PRAPTI SHARMA:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

PRAPTI SHARMA I am currently in the process of completing a fiction set a few hundred years after the war of Mahabharata, the greatest Indian epic ever written. The story of Vaidarbhi, my heroine, was not something that popped into my head suddenly one day; rather it had been building in my head for years without me even realizing. I was always into historical and mythological fiction, and would fantasize about living in the world of Kings and Queens. I would watch historical shows and imagine one such character of my own with different a story line, and that is how Vaidarbhi was born.
