Renowned Novelist Sudeep Nagarkar launches his new book “She Friend-Zoned My Love”

Based on Friend-zoning, the book also focuses on a very important issue - Body Shaming

India, May 2018: Sudeep Nagarkar, one of India’s best-selling novelist and fiction writer has recently launched his new book “She Friend-Zoned My Love” and is travelling to various cities for the same. Based on Friend-Zoning, the book also focuses on Body Shaming, a major issue that at some point of time affects the life of today’s generation.

Sitcoms so frequently use overweight characters as the basis of humor. It has always been accepted and rarely challenged. With the central characters in the book, Sudeep unfolds this objectionable scenario while also explaining the psyche behind Friend-zoning. Connecting both these issues, he wants to make his readers realize the importance of self-compassion. 

Through the book, Sudeep has tried to explain how the Instagram inspired zero-figure and six-pack abs imageis taking a toll on today’s youth’s mindsets. In order to be accepted in the society and peer groups, even the highly educated tries to fit in the general FB/Insta influenced perception on looks. It has become a trend to beautify one's appearance to avoid being trolled with nasty comments and cyberbullying. With one of the lead characters Sia, the author highlights this problem through her journey of fighting depression due to weight issues.

Sudeep is known for his pure romantic novels but he always attempts to pen-down a story with a message for the youth. Considering that his target audience is in the age group of 15-30, Sudeep’s idea is to inject a sense of wisdom and practicalitythrough his works. Unlike sugar-coating a regular love story, Sudeep experiments with the book to make his readers face the real world challenges.

Talking about his book, Sudeep Nagarkar says,“She Friend-Zoned My Love” evokes the need to revive from the glitch of the social media worldand get connected to the real-time world. Though social media has connected us virtually to everyone around the world, we are the loneliest generation. Through the three leading characters Apurvv, Amrya and Sia the book explores the psychology behind friend-zoning, the struggle for maintaining the bond of friendship after being friend-zoned and the willingness to overcome from the depression of body-shaming.”

Published by Penguin Publishers the book is now available on Amazon, Flipkart, Shop Clues, Book Adda (Sapna Online), along with most of the major offline stores across India.
