(When Amar, a secretariat clerk, bumps into Nisha Gulati, ...)
When Amar, a secretariat clerk, bumps into Nisha Gulati, ex-model, in a Delhi shopping mall, a new vista opens for him. Because of his androgynous look, Nisha suggests that Amar walks the ramp as a female model in her designer friend Richa Sharma's fashion show. Initially reluctant, Amar finally agrees to Nisha's bizarre plan and, with the latter's grooming, successfully debuts as a model, Varsha, earning a handsome appearance fee as well. Son of a poor village priest, Amar is dominated by her elder sisters who don't appreciate their one and only brother catwalking in female attire. His sisters, however, have their own agenda in which Amar has to play a supportive role. Nisha also has her hidden agenda: she wants Amar to fill up the vacant slot of a toyboy for his gay husband, Vinod, who is an architect by profession with a passion for Feng Shui and Vastu. Amar doesn't enjoy Vinod's advances but has to tolerate him because he loves Nisha. Even as Amar tries hard to sort out his tangled relationships with Nisha and Vinod, his weird sisters come to stay with him, one after another, and make his life difficult with their idiosyncrasies. When he finds Nisha snorting cocaine in a party, Amar opts out of Nisha's glitzy world and returns to his humble moorings. Even his sisters abandon Amar and he descends to a miserable existence, surviving on the charity of his neighbours. It's Nisha who finally rescues Amar from a total breakdown. Sisters And Lovers is a comic novel that takes a sneaky peek at the modelling profession and delves deep into the vagaries of familial relationships that often turn out to be hilarious as well as problematic.
