Only a bookworm will understand the joys of opening a book, flipping through it and inhaling the sweet fragrance of the pages. Sigh.

Any guesses which TV actress is an avid reader in real life?

It’s the perfectionist of small screen, the pretty Sriti Jha who enjoys reading books.

In many interviews, Sriti alias Pragya of Kumkum Bhagya, has mentioned about her eternal love for books.

The actress recommends five books that everyone must read. Here you go!

She shared, “Although I am a firm believer that one should choose their own books…there are few of my favourite books that I can suggest.”

To Kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee

The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

The Story of My Life by Hellen Keller

Sriti added, “The most important thing in life is to be a good person because everything else is secondary. If you force books on people you’re taking away the fun from reading. Kids should do different things. Let’s bring up individuals and not herds. Let them play sports, read, invent and re-invent. Let us be a motley crowd.”

Well said, Sriti!
