Sonali Mehta is an acclaimed writer, cultural commentator, and storyteller whose work captures the grace and evolution of Indian traditions. Born into an illustrious lineage of award-winning authors and literary thinkers, she grew up amid language, art, and the rhythm of storytelling — where conversation itself was an inheritance.
First known to the nation as the radiant Liril Girl, Sonali’s life has been a tapestry of reinvention and quiet strength — balancing motherhood, creativity, and the nurturing of those around her. It was while organizing her own son’s wedding that she recognized the need for a trusted, comprehensive guide to the complexities and beauty of Indian matrimony.
That realization inspired The Complete Indian Wedding Book, where Sonali distills a lifetime of observation and emotional intelligence into an elegant, indispensable guide — celebrating the Indian wedding not merely as ritual, but as a living art form.
Today, she stands as a voice of authenticity and wisdom for modern Indian women — a bridge between tradition and transformation — writing with the conviction of one who has lived her truths, and the grace of one who continues to illuminate them.
