Skin Deep

ABOUT THIS BOOK

A fiery news reporter, Simran went undercover as a contestant in a pageant to expose the dark
underbelly of the beauty business. But little did she know that she was being used as a pawn in
a much bigger game.
A seemingly acquiescent girl, Sania fought against patriarchal forces within her family and community to fulfil her dream of becoming a model.
A media baron’s daughter, Sunidhi was at a vantage point in life but she frittered it all away with
her entitlement.
On the other hand, Shikha, who came from a humble background, used her body as a currency
to get ahead.
In a world that has commoditized femininity and idealized only one body type, Skin Deep is the
story of four girls with diametrically different views about beauty and how their lives get inextricably enmeshed. They all get a rude awakening when a shocking incident reveals how the big bad world of ‘glamour in the buds’ breeds cradle snatchers, who are ready to devour anything.
Inspired by true incidents, Skin Deep shines a light on the ugly truth behind the facade of beauty and glamour…
