The book penned by Dr Mehnaaz Nadiadwala has beautifully compiled sensitive issues that women face. The novel revolves around the concept of an unborn child conversing with the mother, debating on whether it should be born or not as those who chose to see the world have a lot of struggles to face as a girl and then as a woman.

Author of the book, Dr Mehnaaz Nadiadwala was born and raised in one of the top families of Bollywood as the daughter of Mr A. G. Nadiadwala who started the Nadiadwala film productions. A doctorate in strategic management with a specialization in cultural and global issues has caused her to pen down the novel ‘It’s a Girl: Dialogues with a Princess’ which is based on women’s issues. Coming from a background of film producers, she plans to create a feature film based on the novel. A down-to-earth and warm-hearted personality, Dr Mehnaaz had lead fundraisers for various causes like heart surgery, children with HIV and women with breast cancer.

Dr Mehnaaz has partnered with celebrity nutritionist and dietician Shwetha Bhatia who is now based in Goa. The partnership aims to empower women through nutrition and exercise plans, which is a step ahead of the book. Shwetha is also a competitive fitness athlete, having won Bronze medals at the State & National Bodybuilding Championships 2015. Her passion for fitness has led her to start her own Fitness & Nutrition Centre in Panjim, Goa called Gym & Tonic. The book will be available exclusively at Gym and Tonic, Panjim, Goa and the proceeds from it will go solely towards the upliftment of women in distress and child development.
This initiative taken up by Dr Mehnaaz and Shweta is a holistic approach to address the health issues of women. Apart from nutrition and exercise plans; workshops will be conducted for women by Dr Mehnaaz for image and confidence building.
