Ankita Johri said, “In my school, everyone dreamt of doing something big and they used to do it. During our school assembly, they were called on stage and were honoured. So since then even, I thought to do something big and become famous and so, I thought to be an author.” On the other hand, Oshi said, “When I used to read books and different stories. I used to get inspired and then I thought to write.”
