Page after page bristling with sparkling stories from the vastness and scope of an extraordinary life. From his experiences as a child monk in Burma, to encounters with Gina Lollobrigida and Fellini, Krishnamurthy, Audrey Hepburn and Lady Diana, Kabir has written with a rare honesty, courage and sensitivity, not usually associated with those in showbiz.’- Hindustan Times

‘A pulsating heart, a thinking mind, a contemplative soul and above all, a raconteur. The beauty is how Kabir weaves it all together in a language that has the felicity of a writer and eloquence of a storyteller. Reflecting upon one man’s journey, it illumines life in its entirety and complexity.’ – The Tribune

‘Honest, scathing, and laden with one fascinating anecdote after another, Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor is everything that you expect from a good biography and beyond.’ - The Quint
