Description

On this episode of Say Again, Amrita Tripathi speaks to former diplomat and best-selling author, Vikas Swarup, whose debut novel Q&A was made into the massive superhit Slumdog Millionaire. He’s out with a new book, a social thriller – The Girl with the Seven Lives. We chat about moral ambiguity, a reflection on modern India and… how he’d love to see Alia Bhatt play the lead role in an adaptation.


From a day job in high-stakes diplomacy to his ‘extracurricular’ one as a writer, which took him to the Oscars and back, Swarup has had a career like no other. We talk about all aspects of his journey, and even get his perspective on recent headlines on the India Canada relationship.
