Background[edit]
Yasser Usman was born in the 1980s in Moradabad;^[1]^:xii^[2] his father is reportedly a chemistry professor. In his childhood, Usman had a hobby to read rented popular film magazines and has read many books on Indian film actors.^[3] He works as an author, journalist and television producer in Delhi.^[2] Usman, who is mostly known as an unauthorised biographer, describes himself as "a keen observer of Bollywood".^[4] He wrote in an article published in The Telegraph; "When I set out to write about stars, I wanted the freedom to explore uncomfortable spaces. I wanted to delve not only into their stardom but also their turbulent personal lives and tragic downfalls."^[5] In the media, Usman has described as one of the most successful biographers from India. He was noted for his writings that focused on the "dark side" of the country's film industry.^[3]

No separate editions overseas[edit]

The claim that the book was published in Singapore and Sweden in 2018 was not correct – Amazon may have started selling the (Indian) edition through their local marketplaces then, but that does not mean the book was published in those countries. --bonadea contributions talk 13:43, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, this time I agree with you. Ok let me change it! --Nicholas Michael Halim (talk) 11:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
