Diksha Basu is an actor and the author of the novels Destination Wedding and The Windfall, which is under adaptation for a television series by Shonali Bose. ELLE magazine said The Windfall broke stereotypes of exoticism surrounding India while The Wire called it a “shrewd and unstintingly funny story about the neuroses of New Delhi’s 1%.” Originally from New Delhi, India, Diksha holds a BA in Economics from Cornell University and an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University and divides her time between New York City and Mumbai.
