The conversations between the two took 20 sessions through phone calls. After author arrived in Mumbai in October 2008, and the talks continued until March the next year.
Nasreen Kabir spoke of her experience of writing the book in an interview to The Hindu, “It was not very challenging. Lataji has such a fabulous memory. She is an engaging conversationalist. Very intelligent, she does not suffer inane questions. She is very polite. You have to find newer ways to ask her the same things. You have to think a lot. You cannot approach her with a pre-planned list of questions and you simply cannot manipulate her answers.”
