Here are the answers to the most asked questions & claims!
1. Is this your first book?
Yes, this is my first ever novel/book.
2. How did you got inspired to write this story?
Well, as you all know life was/is never fair to everyone and even now I am facing all that unfavorable situation of life. I have always thought that what if this wouldn't happen? Just like any other girl I am obsessed over the uninvited character in our life. Shahzaib was that uninvited person in Shahnoor's life and I wanted to know what will happen next.. daydreaming wouldn't make it better cause I kept on thinking but when I narrated this to my friends once in our get together, they all were like "Yaar tu likhti q nahi hai, likhna sabko boht pasand aayega" even after those praises I thought for months than I started giving tuitions as an assistant teacher but my colleagues there listened to my story and pushed me to publish it, so I started searching for a platform which would help me to publish my book and I found about Wattpad.
3. a)Why didn't you updated often?
b) "I know author you don't know what to write further thats why you didn't updated in months.."
Ok, so the first one was a question that many of my Readers Dmed me and commented on my board and the second one is a claim that one of the reader accused me of, *Laugh* how funny! You didn't even know me, you don't know bro what I am going through! All I will say is that "Uss raaste pe chalke dikhao jiss pe mein chalri hu, tumhe chain ki saans bhi lene ki fursat miljaye toh mera naam badal dena" (Show me by walking on the path on which I am walking on, if you get a chance to take a breath of peace then change my name)and to those who were always concerned for me and prayed for me, Jazakallah khair ❤️ dil se.
4. Can you please write a book on farah and abu daud's lovestory or even an epilogue?
Can't promise dear, I have completed this book's last 5 chapters in a week of time cause I am preparing for a full time job. Please pray if I get that job than everything will be fine inshallah..
5. What's your favourite character from the story?
Shahzaib Ahmed mirza for sure, cause he has different yet same vision from any other men, like he is caring, kind, respectful to his wife yet dominant on others which is every girl's dream.
6. How did you write those dialogues? Any inspiration?
Life makes you learn many thing, I have written this book on my own no inspiration at all from any other works. But there are very few shayaris (quotes) that I loved and put it in my books. The dialogues were my original work, alhamdulillah.
7. Are you married? I mean how are you able to write so beautiful that relationship?
No, I am not married and will be 21 years old after two days "23rd of November".. about how I described the relationship of marriage is very easy as I assume it like that, I wanted to have such beautiful and respectful relationship unlike those toxic yet failure ones.
8. Will there be any sequel of 'His shades of life' and if there is than will it continue with fatima's love story?
NOT SURE, If I feel like writing one someday than inshallah I will write it but I don't think I will be able to write it with fatima's love story. Let's see...
9. Do you remember that there's is a comment on your story that predicted Shahnoor's death in the end?
Yes I remember it, but I still wanted to go with the same plot that I had in my mind. No changes just because someone is so obsessed with my work that he/she predicted its update.
10. Shahno and Shahzaib could had an happy ending, why did you opted for a sad one?
If everything has gone as we planned it than who would remember Allah, life is never in your favour atleast that's what I feel, it can be unpredicted sometime..You are laughing at this moment and the next second you are crying with jussstt that one hit from life.
11. Whats your favourite dialogue from the book?
When Shahzaib confessed his hidden feelings to shahnoor :
"Meri jaan (my darling), my heart, my life, begum (Wife)..you are very precious to me..and your haya (shyness) is more precious..I respect you with all my heart. I want you to know it..that this husband of yours is nothing without you."
And another one was when shahzaib told shahnoor to abort her child but she refused:
"YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS MENTAL F*CK UP! I CAN'T PUT YOU IN DANGER! I AM NOT STUPID TO LET YOU BE IN DANGER SEEING YOU GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER DAY BY DAY! DYING IN FRONT OF ME!"
Although he is cursing in this dialogue but one can understand the deep feelings and care of shahzaib for his wife. He doesn't want to let her die, he wants to live with her happily.
12. Which character can you relate yourself with?
Umm..maybe a little bit like shahnoor, cause I just let the things happen and go with flow instead of arguments. I am not praising myself but I have helped many people's around knowing that in the end I will not get anything and that's what just happening but still I am doing the same thinking that Allah is seeing everything.
13. Describe the character of shahzaib and shahnoor in one word.
Shahzaib - Morose
Shahnoor - Patient and Forgiving
14. What if shahnoor got married to abu daud?
Than she would have fall in love with him cause he would be her husband.
15. Describe shahnoor's relation with farah.
Full of sacrifice and love.
16. How did Abu daud fall in love with farah? Didn't he said that he will never love anyone else other than shahnoor?
Isn't it all about reality, humans are just like that. All they want is Love, when they find it they follow it. After shahnoor, abu daud find it in farah, so he loved her.
16. Whats your favourite scene from the book?
My favourite seen is when shahzaib got married to shahnoor and when he came to meet her as his wife. The way he described her beauty that only belongs to him was just something my heart couldn't get off. Another scene is when shahnoor said yes to abu daud to marry him, how happy he looked.
17. When will you start the new book 'Sidratul Muntaha'?
Inshallah soon, I am writing some chapters whenever I get the time but still I can't write enough to upload so soon..but it is something which is very close to my heart so please give your love just like how you gave to His shades of life.
18. Is this story based on true story?
If yes, than can you tell one of the real scene from the book?
Some of the events/scenes are real but most of them are not. The scene where shahzaib tells shahnoor to prepare food for their walima feast is the true situation that one of my close relative has faced by her husband.
19. Will sidratul Muntaha different from his shades of life?
Ofcourse it will be, why would I write same stories? Only some struggles of the female protagonist may seem same but there would huge plot difference between the two books cause that one will be based on mostly true events.
20. Did you cried writing the sad scenes of the last chapters?
Yes, I was crying like if there's no tomorrow. At one time I wanted to change it all to a happy ending cause my heart pained with their separation but I am an author I have to be true with my thoughts and words.
21. Does your family knows that you write?
Yes, they all knew about it all this time and always asked me if I have completed my story. I have narrated it many times to my siblings, cousins and friends.
22. Will you ever publish your book in hard copy?
I thought of it many times cause my friends and family suggested it but the cost of it is too much and I am not able to afford it right now but inshallah soon I will do it.
A/N : I have answered to those questions which I thought is very important to clear out, there are huge list of your questions but I can't make out to answer all in this short time of mine.
Jazakallah khair ❤️
