Q.2. Recently, authors from other genres like Ravi Subramanian, Amish and Ashwin Sanghi are become very popular among Indian readers. So, do you think this will demean the popularity of romantic books?

Durjoy Datta: - I don`t think so. It`s just that other authors have started creating their own niche`s as well. Previously no one used to read corporate thrillers or mythological books. It`s not that they are eating into each other`s profile. They have their own audience.
