Description

Scandal Point is the perfect blend of Bollywood, acerbic wit and the underbelly of Bombay, Delhi and London’s partying scene.

Summary of the Book

Scandal Point revolves around the life of Ricky Kumar, a handsome and stunning young man. He is adored by his mother and is on the verge of being launched as a Bollywood star. Life seemed perfect and smooth sailing for Ricky before things began to go horribly wrong for him. London-based playboy and business tycoon Gautam Goyal arrives in Mumbai to check into a drug rehabilitation facility. In a case of mistaken identity, Ricky and Gautam are pitted against each other under the harsh and evil glare of the media spotlight, and it seems like Ricky will lose everything he had been working for, his Bollywood debut and the love of his life. Scandal Point is a satire on Bollywood and high society of India, it has all the right elements to make it a fun and interesting read.

Scandalous life of Bollywood stars and Millionaires

How scandalous do you think is the life of Bollywood stars and the Richie Rich Millionaires of India? Do you think they are normal human beings like us or they are somewhat totally different from us? This book by Fahad Samar gives you a sneak peek into the lives of these stars and millionaires. If you read Page 3 first before reading the national news, then this book is a must read for you. I don’t know how exactly these people live but I think Fahad has done justice to all the characters; he...

Scandal Point....an awesome read!

With equal parts humour and equal parts drama, Scandal Point is a deliciously wicked cocktail of all that is intoxicating and mesmerising about the glamorous and exciting world of Bollywood and Delhi high society. It sucks you in from the very first page and enthrals you right till the end. Written with an insightful eye, this book is a highly entertaining page turner. Unputdownable......had to finish it in one go!!!

Most definitely recommend Scandal Point

Review:

I could not put this book down from the moment I started reading it. It has love, lust, drama, suspense and obviously a good smattering of scandals and Fahad Samar presents all of the above with the savoir-faire of a seasoned story-teller. A plot full of unexpected twits, served au juice with the author’s acerbic wit makes this book a compelling read.

Indeed this book is full of masala. Let's face it; the best of us and the worst of us are interested in gossip. What I liked most abo...

More scandals than a B grade Bollywood film

Kapil Kumar, is a yesteryear superstar, decides to launch his handsome and attractive son, Ricky Kumar. Gautam Goyal, is a handsome, arrogant and drug addict son of billionaire NRI. Paths of Ricky and Gautam cross. Not once, not twice but many times.

This is a tale of film industry. An industry that is vengeful, slutty, partial, ruthless and extravagant. All the masala ingredients are present in this book. It has affairs, sex, oneupmanship, corruption, film making, hidden agenda, sibling riv...

Wickedly readable!

Scandal Point is a racy, amusing read with easily recognizable characters, high society shenanigans and a witty peek into Bollywood. There's plots and sub plots, sex, romance and drugs, but the unexpected part is an oddly touching insight into the vulnerable side of page three regulars.All in all, a fun read, especially for Fahad's wicked humour and clever turn of phrase.

A fun, fast paced read

Scandal Point is a fun read that takes us into the lives of two young men, both from a strata of society that most of us know about only through the page three section of our daily newspapers. The author has an insider view into this world and presents it to us, warts and all, the machinations, the ugliness, the workings of the uber rich and powerful. The author writes a pacy story, without losing grip on either the narrative or the characterisation, which given the vast ensemble of character...
