The famous and the unknown inhabit these pages: Ashok Kumar emerges as a shy, brilliant actor, forever looking to flee the eager advances of his female fans; Nargis is just another young girl looking for companionship among her peers; we come to know of the obsessions of Sitara Devi, the unfulfilled desires of Paro devi, and the incredible dedication of Nawab Kaashmiri to his craft. Sharply insightful, delightfully gossipy and cheerfully malicious, the sketches in Stars from Another Sky provide a tantalizing glimpse into the glamorous world of films and bring to life a lost generation for today's reader.
