Amitabh Bachchan, who launched the book, admitted that he had not yet read the book but was looking forward to it. He posted on his blog, “In an age and generation when all reading is confined to the net and the mobile phone, it is a pleasure to be invited for the release of a book. And so I go and release it. I am not adequately prepared for it, for I have not read the book - my time constraints do not allow it. If I am the chief guest for the book release, I should ideally have done so. That is my regret.”
