My Mother, T Krishna Kumari is a true story of a superstar, who at the pinnacle of her career gracefully chose to take a bow and walk away from the limelight into a completely new world. Krishna Kumari chose to settle down amid the quiet splendour of nature at a farm on the outskirts of Bangalore, and thus began a new chapter in her life. This book captures the two worlds and weaves together her love for food, films and family. Her daughter Dipika shares the film star's secret recipes that have warmed many a heart. Rupali Mehra, TV journalist

"In my long career in the film industry, I have worked with many important, talented and wonderful heroines. Krishna Kumari is one of them - a beautiful and expressive heroine. Krishna Kumari was known for being extremely co-operative and for being a director's heroine." Late Akkineni Nageswara Rao

"I was a child when I worked with her (Krishna Kumari), and she was a big star. And I remember feeling that a princess had entered the room when she came onto the sets". Sridevi Kapoor
