A Review Of Dark Side Of Glamour World In Bollywood In The Views Of Shobha De‘S Novel Starry Nights

Abstract

Starry nights' by Shobha De portrays the story of Aasha Rani and Akshay that is based on a real life love story of two pairs of
celluloid stars. It was a best seller in India after which Shobha De became the house name for a special class of people. De emphasized her creative excellence by using the cinematic flash back method of technique and thereby makes the narrator to tell the events with the benefit of hindsight. Sometimes she uses interior monologue to help the characters to analyse themselves and brings out the suppressed desires lying in the deep mind of the characters. For an example, Aasha Rani in Starry Night, quite often undertakes her journey between past and present and thereby tries to come back to the time and the society, in which she is part and parcel.
