Ekta Kapoor, who produced Tahira's husband Ayushmann Khurrana's film Dream Girl, shared a video, in which she was all praises for Tahira. "I think all you guys should read it especially women who are multitasking, you guys need to. If you wear many hats, this is the book for you," she said in the video. Referring to Shah Rukh Khan's note on the cover of the book, Ekta Kapoor said, "I never knew you made out while watching Shah Rukh Khan's films. Touche woman. You truly are my dream girl in spirit."
Anubhav Sinha wrote: "I love people who can write books. And a book about women by a woman? Yayyyy! Tahira my friend, take it away. God Bless. Also I am just pretending to be hamming. Why? Because it is 'in' these days and I'm watching too much TV news."
Oh! Coming back to Shah Rukh Khan's note on the cover, it reads, "I'm not sure if I should be happy or offended that Tahira's favourite make-out spot was in the cinema watching my movies. This wonderful book is full of many such gems that will make you laugh as much as I did." Here's a closer look at the book's cover:
