"I knew I was on a deadline and I realised that I needed some peace and quiet. I was already more than halfway through it but I had to concentrate to the point that I am thinking about this daily. So taking a break from the shoot was essential and I shut myself out and worked in peaceful isolation to complete the book," she added. The book is now officially completed. It will have Richa's life experiences in the form of full length stories.
