And Then One Day: A Memoir

And Then One Day is Naseeruddin Shah's sparkling memoir of his early years, capturing his extraordinary journey from a feudal hamlet near Meerut to the stardom of stage and film in Mumbai. Spanning his life from "zero to thirty-two," Shah recounts his experiences at Aligarh University, the National School of Drama, and the Film and Television Institute of India, where his luck began to change.

Written with rare honesty and consummate elegance, and leavened with tongue-in-cheek humor, this memoir offers moving portraits of family members, darkly funny school days, and vivid cameos of directors and actors like Ebrahim Alkazi, Shyam Benegal, Girish Karnad, Om Puri, and Shabana Azmi. Shah's struggles, experiments with acting, love affairs, early marriage, and professional ups and downs are narrated with remarkable frankness and self-assessment.

Brimming with delightful anecdotes and poignant revelations, And Then One Day is a tour de force, destined to become a classic.
