Rasika took to the comment section on her Instagram, where she shared a carousel of images featuring her and her favourite reads.

“Reclaiming the reading habit with a vengeance... #WorldBookDay Most favourite takeaways... Finding margin notes in a borrowed copy of Dreamcount.Thanks for this gem @rehana__munir, I now read with a pencil in hand!”

She added: “Totally enjoying the gender sensitive illustrations of We the Citizens #KhyatiPathak @pranaykotas #AnupamManur And still can't stop sighing about the beauty and relatability of #TheLonelinessOfSoniaandSunny #KiranDesai. I think this is going to be a favourite for a long long time.”
