Rajesh Asan, Manj Bhandal and Jasi Nandhra wearing promotional T-shirtsI attended the book launch for Starlet Rivalry on Saturday 31st of January, this was held in Waterstones, The Chimes Shopping centre, Uxbridge - West London. I wasn't sure what to expect really and I felt a little nervous and excited to see what all the fuss was about! I was greeted by the author Puneet Bhandal, and piles of books ready to be signed. Puneet had fantastic promotional t-shirts printed for the occasion, modelled by friends and familly.
Author and IllustratorIt was great to finally meet Puneet in person, as we'd only spoken once on the phone before - the commission was carried out entirely by e-mail. The wonders of modern technology!
The launch lasted about an hour and featured a 'dress up in Bollywood-style' competition for younger readers, where the best outfit won the chance to have a character named after them in the next book and a Bollywood goody bag! The event also included a Bollywood Dance Performance, Bollywood Karaoke and the book signing.
