Last month, the director dropped his memoir, co-authored with Suveen Sinha, titled Karma's Child, at the National Centre for the Performing Arts. HarperCollins is the publisher.

He shared with PTI, “When you tell a story through film, there are ups and downs. You might criticize some people while agreeing with others. It’s a constant struggle for a director. I’ve shared my experiences from my viewpoint.”

He also mentioned, “Back when I was making those films, I thought they were great, but now when the younger generation praises them, it feels different. Back then, it was all about the market; now, it’s about real appreciation. I think that genuine admiration is finally coming through.”

Subhash Ghai is known for classics like Kalicharan, Karz, Hero, Vidhaata, Meri Jung, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Taal, and Saudagar. His most recent film as a director was Kaanchi, which came out in 2014.
