I am in love with reading books: Prince Dhiman
The best part for me is that when you are reading a novel, everything you imagine while reading is your own imagination.
Prince Dhiman, who is seen in Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah’s Studio LSD’s Pyaar Ka Pehla Adhyaya: Shiv Shakti, says books have always been a part of his life. Speaking on the occasion of National Book Lover’s Day, which is observed on August 9, he said, “I am in love with reading books. I also have a big collection. I mostly love reading Hindi fiction novels. I did engineering, so books were always a part of my life. But during my theater days, I fell in love with the imaginary world.”
“The best part for me is that when you are reading a novel, everything you imagine while reading is your own imagination. You create everything. Yes, the story is by someone else, but you are creating a different version of it. And the thing is, it’s different for every reader,” he added. He feels book reading culture is dying and said, “There are only a certain number of people who really put effort into buying a hard copy and reading it. Everyone is on their phone all the time. Sometimes I think what is so important about a phone is that it keeps you hooked up. It’s an addiction.”
And he doesn’t like using audiobooks or Kindles. He said, “Book reading is pure. Like old music, nothing can replace the simplicity and aura of books. I don’t like using my phone for reading . The feel of a book in your hands is different. It can’t be expressed in words. Today also I was reading the book Yaar Papa by Divya Prakash Dubey.” A book that you have read multiple times? “Aughad by Nilotpal Mrinal. What a fantastic book it is. Biranchi was and will always be the real hero of the story. And the demon will be Pabittar Das. No one can be fully trusted in this world except your parents. This novel teaches a lot. And also opens the gate of mind,” Prince ended.
