Hi, I just asked a question like 10 minutes ago but I had to again. Are you ever going to incorporate South Indian characters into your books? As a girl from a Telugu-speaking South Indian family, I would love to see a character who spoke the same language as me. *sends hopeful vibes through screen*
Sandhya Menon
I already have! Sweetie's family is from South India (There's Something about Sweetie), as is Jaya's family (Of Curses and Kisses).

Hello! I just wanted to say I am very excited for you new book! I haven't read When Dimple Met Rishi but it is on my list! I am very happy someone decided to write a love story about Indians. Do you have more books planned? Also, I LOVE Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi! My favorite all time!

The world still thinks an Indian is either a Punjabi, Bengali, a Mumbaian or a Madarasi for all South Indians. I wish you would explore the diversity of our country with your characters and that one day there will be a Malayali character too...Well I have yet to come across one in the fictional world (YA) as far as English writing is concerned . Have you ever thought about one? All you characters are cool..Thank you!
