Synopsis

Aasha Rani, Bombay’s no. 1 heroine, has everything she wants—fame, money, success. All except for Akshay Arora, the film star she is desperately in love with. This is her story—from her days as a vulnerable small-town girl, pushed by her ambitious mother into sleeping her way to the top, to getting her first break from Kishenbhai, the small-time distributor who never stops loving her, to sealing her career under the patronage of the deadly Bombay don Sheth Amirchand. Glittering, glamorous and full of unforgettable characters, Starry Nights is the ultimate Bollywood novel.

C’est rough, cru et perturbant. On pourrait croire qu’Ashaa évoluerait au travers des épreuves et du li......more
