On World Book Day, actor Raashii Khanna highlights the importance of reading in understanding human emotion and experience. She prefers physical books over digital applications, finding the tactile experience essential to her craft.
Khanna's fondness for reading began in school, introduced by a close friend. Her first book, Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon, sparked a lifelong habit. She believes starting with engaging genres, like thrillers, can make reading more accessible.
Khanna's relationship with books is shaped by their ability to challenge her thinking and prompt self-reflection. She values books that explore complex themes, such as awareness and emotional independence.
When asked for her top picks, Khanna recommends Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey, a book that offers perspective on navigating life's unpredictability. She also returns to The Book of Secrets by Osho, which deepened her understanding of awareness, meditation, and relationships.
