Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh by Shrayana Bhattacharya

Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh by Shrayana Bhattacharya

Economist Bhattacharya uses Indian women's shared devotion to Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan as an unexpected lens for examining their real economic and emotional lives, interviewing women across vastly different class backgrounds about work, marriage, desire and independence.

The fandom becomes a way for these women to articulate longings — for romantic respect, for autonomy, for a partner who treats them as fully human — that their actual economic and social circumstances rarely allow them to express or pursue directly, making the book as much serious economic sociology as cultural commentary.

An acclaimed, unusual work of economic sociology told through Bollywood fandom.
