urwa asked Roshani Chokshi:

How did you learn so much about Hindu culture, from your book the descriptions are so rich and vivid it is almost like you know more Hindu traditions than me! (and I was raised in an Indian culture) Did you do research or ask different people?

Roshani Chokshi My mother is Filipina, and my father is from India, so I also grew up exposed to that culture from the very beginning. I didn't do much research for those stories because my Ba had told them to me at a very young age, and I grew up on Amar Chitra Katha comic books!

Tori Young

Tori Young asked Roshani Chokshi:

Okay seriously your books are amazing! (The Star Touched Queen completely tore my heart out but its ok.) Anyway, I really want to write about a specific time period but the research required seems extremely extensive. I was wondering, how much research went into writing these books? Was it exhausting or fun?
