Gulshan Grover is the latest to join the Bollywood folk who have penned their life stories. His upcoming biography, Bad Man, traces his journey from being a nobody to somebody, and from Bollywood to Hollywood. The veteran actor was initially not inclined to telling it all in a book "as it is a big responsibility and you should not hurt anyone, especially those who are not alive to defend themselves."

His reluctance gave way "after meeting the publishers. It was a wonderful experience to meet the Penguin team. I was happy to revisit my life." Grover has been involved with "every dot and comma in the book". He says, "I had to read, correct, make changes and send it again, all in time to meet deadlines." He has dedicated the biography to filmmaker-son Sanjay, who he refers to as "my life." Grover has been a single parent and he says the book will chronicle his personal and professional life. "But I have not made any irresponsible statements."
