About this audiobook

'Lutyens Dilli' transcends the realm of politics and politicians, delving into the intricate web of forces that shape their world—touts, brokers, fixers, secretaries, bureaucrats, the nexus of gangsters, pimps, and those driven by power-hungry studs in the corridors of influence.  

The narrative concentrates on individuals exerting influence over politicians, assuming roles such as private secretaries and personal secretaries, showcasing their dominance over touts, fixers, dealers, pimps, brokers, all against the political backdrop.

Her journey continues as she travels the world with an international arms dealer, only to return and establish a media company. Her downfall begins. Undeterred, Ladli fights back, rectifying the mistakes that led to her setbacks. The story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, resilience, and redemption.

The story aims to captivate audiences with fresh imagination capturing the essence of the 80s & 90s eras— encompassing fashion, music, intricate lanes, and the cultural tapestry near Red Fort and the Lutyens Delhi premises. 

The movie depicts the zeal of a girl who forges ahead to conquer the world, even when her partner in crime abandons her. Undeterred, she fearlessly continues her journey. 

'Delhi' and 'Dilli' are both intentionally used as references. The elite employ and refer to it as Delhi, reminiscent of the British era, while the common Indian pronounces it as Dilli, echoing a cultural distinction.
