You finally stand where you once only read about… and it all feels real 🌿✨ Badass Begums hits different when you walk those spaces 💫

Asked my publicist all the “should I even ask this?” questions 👀 Turns out… they’re more normal than we think. Behind Badass Begums = doubt + curiosity + figuring it out 💭

A little moment. A big dream 🤍✨ Holding Badass Begums—something I once only imagined. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it 📖

Stopped in Old Delhi today… and I’m still processing it. Two young girls told me they’ve read Badass Begums—and that my work inspires them. Weeks have been hard, but this reminded me why I started 🤍

I almost quit college in my first week. Felt out of place. Not “good enough.” Everyone around me seemed more confident, more privileged. Years later, I came back as an alumnus. Life really comes full circle. ❤️

Books aren’t written overnight. Badass Begums took 2 years—even with a contract. What you read is years of effort, doubt & persistence. 📖 If you’re in Khan Market, grab a copy from @faqirchandbookstore ❤️ #BadassBegums

Some women weren’t just part of history — they shaped it. 👑 Mughal Begums influenced power, politics, art & culture in ways we’re still uncovering. Badass Begums is just a glimpse into their world. 📖 #WomenInHistory #BadassBegums

Delhi is full of stories… but how many were built by women? 👀 From queens to quiet patrons, their legacy still stands—if you know where to look. Can you name a monument in Delhi built by a woman? #DelhiHeritage #WomenInHistory

Walked into Oxford Bookstore just browsing… and spotted Badass Begums in the bestseller section. From scattered notes & self-doubt to being seen and read—women’s stories finding their space ✨ Kudos 👏 #BadassBegums #WomenInHistory #DelhiHeritage

Spotted this in The Hindu today — felt personal. Delhi’s story isn’t just emperors. Women like Jahanara Begum & Haji Begum shaped the city too. Maybe the real question isn’t who built Delhi — but whose stories we chose to remember. #DelhiHistory #WomenInHistory #BadassBegums

Some journeys begin with a question you can’t ignore. For me: why are women missing from the stories we inherit? From heritage walks to Badass Begums, it’s been about bringing those voices back — honestly & patiently. Just getting started. ✨ #BadassBegums #WomenInHistory
