The book is co-authored with

Roshmila Bhattacharya

and will be published next year. "I would like to emphasise that it is not an autobiography. At 45, I am too young to write my memoirs. As they say in filmi terms, 'Picture abhi baki hai, mere dost'. But I can help others like me deal with their problem by talking about my journey," said Bhatt.

She points out that she has not touched liquor since 10 months. "It hasn't been easy but it hasn't been too difficult either. A series of chapters in a book called life," Bhatt asserted.

"It wasn't planned but we have announced the book on Bhai Dooj, when traditionally Indians have just ushered in a new year. As the Diwali lights continue to sparkle around us, please support me on this journey the way you always have through all my films," she said. In an interview in March, Bhatt had spoken about her battle with the bottle saying, "If I didn't quit now, I'd have drank myself to the grave."
