Aditya Kripalani wrote and self-published his first novel, 'Back Seat' when he was 26 years of age. Within five years of his first release, he wrote a sequel called 'Front Seat'. Back Seat was placed 10th against 300 other titles in 2009 ‘Hollywood Book Festival’. Both the books became the best sellers. His latest offering 'Tikli and Laxmi Bomb' is getting turned into a film. The book is a story about two sex workers, who decide to attain autonomy in their profession by running a small part of the sex trade by women and for women. Aditya has a dynamic, dramatic, love-hate relationship with Mumbai and thus city forms a backdrop of most of his artistic expressions in his books.
