Sriti Jha became a household name as Pragya ever since Kumkum Bhagya went on air on Zee TV over 5 years ago. And while everyone loves Pragya on-screen, Sriti has also won everyone’s hearts. Be it her small gestures for her fans or her poetry, she has always made everyone’s day a little brighter. For the uninitiated, the Kumkum Bhagya actress loves books! In fact, she can read a novel any day, anytime, anyplace.
Be it at home, perched on a tree branch or even on the sets of Kumkum Bhagya, the telly town beauty will always have a book in her hand during her free time. And that’s exactly what she is up to in this phase of temporary lockdown.
As she revealed, “While I am not shooting for Kumkum Bhagya due to the lockdown, I am reading a lot of novels. Good books are my zone!” And that’s why, she is recommending books to choose from for the lockdown period and even beyond! She suggests:
