REVIEWSRitu Menon’s Zohra! does an excellent service to the spirit of Zohra Sehgal.
Gautam Chintamani | The Sunday Standard
[T]he book reads like the Arabian Nights, unfolding one story after another, the common thread to all of these being shehzadi Zohra. Each story is about some legendary personality, event or institution. Brief history of all these has come alive through painstaking research into archives, interviews with friends and relatives, and putting together stray references… I would recommend it strongly to those interested not just in the life of Segal but also wanting to know about institutions and individuals who were significant but [whose] role has not really been documented well.

[A] rollercoaster read… The mischievous grand ole lady of Indian theatre has left a legacy behind, and the book manages to showcase her indomitable spirit in full honesty.
