Truth be told, “guilty” is a woman’s “default setting”. At the Delhi launch of her book, No Regrets: The Guilt-Free Woman’s Guide To A Good Life (HarperCollins), former journalist Kaveree Bamzai regaled an episode from the days when politics in Smriti Zubin Irani’s life was confined to a family drama of an Ekta Kapoor TV production — Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi — whose face was Irani as the proverbial Tulsi. After a triple-slap-sequence shot, when Irani went home to her three-day-old child, she was not overcome with guilt. With Irani that day, Bamzai felt she could relate to this woman. Experiences like this, nudged Bamzai to build her book.
