Avinashi Singh’s much-anticipated literary creation, Main Shagun Hoon (I AM SHAGUN), enters the literary world as a bold, provocative, emotionally charged, and unapologetically dramatic narrative that refuses to obey conventional storytelling norms. This novel is not merely a work of fiction; it is an audacious exploration of identity, survival, reinvention, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit—delivered with sharp humor, striking imagery, and fearless storytelling.
At the heart of this extraordinary tale stands Shagun Singh Rathore, a prince born into privilege yet burdened by loneliness, insecurity, misplaced love, and a heartbreaking inability to belong anywhere—not even within his own destiny. A poetic soul trapped in royal expectations, Shagun’s failures in love, identity conflicts, and emotional displacement push him towards a desperate flight from his past. Fate intervenes in the most dramatic way when tragedy strikes during the horrifying Godhra fire incident. In a moment of terror and instinctive survival, Shagun is forced into an unimaginable disguise—a black burqa—that becomes both his shield and his rebirth.
His journey across borders into Pakistan brings with it danger, secrecy, and the constant threat of death. Yet, within this chaos, Shagun experiences an extraordinary inner metamorphosis. He discovers his voice—literally and symbolically—develops unexpected strengths, and reconstructs his shattered sense of self with grace, artistry, and sheer audacity. What begins as a disguise slowly becomes an identity; what started as survival transforms into empowerment. Shagun returns not as the uncertain royal heir who once fled, but as a confident, unapologetically flamboyant, emotionally liberated persona—one capable of ruling life on their own terms. The novel beautifully questions: What happens when a person stops surviving and finally begins living?
