Dear Shah Rukh: In Your Shadows, I Found My Light is a soul-stirring memoir of hope, healing, and personal transformation—told through intimate, heartfelt letters written to one of India’s most beloved icons, Shah Rukh Khan.

How do you thank someone who changed your life without ever meeting them?

For Priyanka Srivastava, that someone has always been Shah Rukh Khan. From her very first glimpse of him in Koi Na Koi Chahiye, to her darkest hours during the pandemic, Shah Rukh’s presence—on screen and beyond—became a beacon of hope and emotional strength.

This tender, deeply personal book is a series of reflective letters to the man who, unknowingly, helped shape her identity and gave her the courage to keep going through the highs and lows of her own journey. His movies offered her comfort. His interviews sparked resilience. His story gave her the belief that her own could be rewritten.

Starting from a young girl's innocent crush to a woman navigating love, career, heartbreak, infertility, and eventual healing, Priyanka takes readers through a journey that is both uniquely hers and universally relatable mirroring her belief that love, loss, and perseverance could coexist—and that dreams are worth chasing, even when the odds feel insurmountable.

Written with honesty, humour, and raw vulnerability, this is not just a fan’s tribute—it is an exploration of emotional connection, self-discovery, and the unexpected places we find inspiration.

If you’ve ever found solace in a movie, courage in a quote, or inspiration in someone you’ve never met—this story is for you.

For the dreamers, believers, and seekers—this is your story too.

Because sometimes, the shadows of those we admire… help us find our own light."
