What makes Durjoy Datta click? How did he come upon the idea of proposing to his then-girlfriend, now-wife Avantika Mohan, through a Twitter hashtag?
“She always wanted a huge, romantic gesture and I’m no good at those. So I asked Twitter to help!” laughs Datta, as he recalls how the proposal turned out to be a damp squib! Datta also talks honestly about how he knows his books are “commercial fiction – although I hope to write literary fiction at some point in my life”.
Catch Durjoy Datta talk books (his latest The Boy Who Loved is out now) and romance in this freewheeling FB Live chat with The Quint.
