Sanjana:So our winner is from Chhattisgarh😁

Sanjana: Who inspired you to write?

Rishika: My mother. She also writes for local state magazine sometimes and I've always seen her writing so she is my inspiration to start writing as I was really nervous initially.

Sanjana: Aww your mother is also writer. And mothers are always daughter's inspiration..

Sanjana:How do you get such amazing plots for writing?

Rishika: I spent maximum time alone so various thoughts keeps running in my mind. I listen to some slow songs and sometimes from just one line I get the idea to write but I have to think about it so many times.

Fun fact :- the idea of this story which has won, I saw it on my dream 😂

Sanjana: So you are also introvert like me..And thanks to your dream that we get so amazing story

Sanjana: What is your best and worst experience in wattpad?

Rishika: I also thanks the dream.

Best experience :- I've got so many friends here as in real life I have very few friends. When my story gets loved by my readers it makes me so happy. The small conversation in the comment section with other writers and readers which later turned out to be a massive talk is
really stress buster. Those laughs, teasing and sometimes bribing for an early update in a
good way and when writer accepts it wholeheartedly, it's the best.

Worst experience :- There was only one moment when I wrote a whole 3000 words chapter of this book only I guess it was part 22, suddenly wattpad stopped working and later when I
opened to check the draft, it was deleted. I cried so much that I've written it so long and spent like two hours. After then I started writing on Laptop. That was the worst moment..

Sanjana: In real life few friends are disadvantages of introvert..which I also felt but wattpad has given all of us the great friends. And sad about that your hard work get deteroited by wattpad issues. Wattpad issues are on perk.

Sanjana: Who is your favourite writer in wattpad in both the way, in and out?

Rishika: My favorite writer is @singhnikii27 Doraashi RRao_13 fanaticwriterrboth in and out.

Sanjana: Which character do you like the most in your books and why?

Rishika: I like Sameer a lot. He is caring, genuine, always available for his loved ones, never judges munna pandit on the basis of status like his other family members did. He always shares a strong bond with them. Despite of knowing about Rohan, he never did anything
which can harm him and silently walked away to USA. For Naina, he waited for 4 years. He remain loyal to her even when they are not together.

Sanjana: Aww you like sameer character a lot..Hope you will get someone like sameer😁

Sanjana: What is the biggest challenge you have faced so far as writer?

Rishika: Lack of time. As I am medical entrance aspirant. I hardly gets time to write and thats why I always disappointed my readers for giving late update. So to write and publish on time is the biggest challenge for me.

Sanjana: So you are medical entrance aspirant. Hope you get success in that field too along
with writing

Sanjana: Who is the most important person in your life whom you can rely on?

Rishika: My parents are the most important person in my life. They have always encourages me in my every decision because they have faith on me that I never take wrong step and I
never will. They have given me freedom of everything but I being of conservative nature, not even step out of my house😂. They have always encourages me, told me to never give up.
They are my world.

Sanjana: You are perfect example of ideal daughter🥰

Sanjana: What is the new talent or hobby that you discovered during this lockdown period
that you were probably unknown until now?

Rishika: I haven't discovered anything yet because my whole time is dedicated to my studies
only and in case of studies, I've discovered that I can study upto 6 hours in one seating. This is my talent because it's new 😂

Sanjana: So in lockdown period you got to know that you can be nerd😂

Sanjana: What is your biggest fear?

Rishika: My biggest fear is losing someone I love and failure.

Sanjana: You love your loved one's very much😁

Sanjana: Tell us that one thing you have the most or you cannot live without?

Rishika: I can't live without my family. They are the most precious gems in my life. No words can describe about having a beautiful family where we can share love, happiness sometimes
small and big fights also but despite of those fights and arguments, the bond between us is like a covalent bond (the strongest) ❤

Sanjana: Aww..You loved your family so much..And you true said..No words
can describe about having a beautiful family😁

Sanjana: If you are in a deserted island, what are the three things you would like to take with you?

Rishika: I would take my ready to go backpack with me because it has all my essentials 😁 A big water bottle and my best friend with me 😂

Sanjana- So you take your best friend with you...Advantage of introvert...we don't have more friends but those we have..They are very precious for us.

Sanjana: If you become invisible for a day, what will you do first (A) Kiss your crush (B) Slap
your enemy

Rishika: None. I want to slap my enemy only when needed in front of him/her and I don't want to kiss my crush because he is already married 😂😂

Sanjana: You are also fiesta🤣🤣. You want to slap your enemy in front of him.

Sanjana: According to you, which thing can handle better a woman's anger
(A) Her favourite gift or (B) 15 minutes praise?

Rishika: I don't know about others but for me, a warm hug and spending some time with me, a person who is ready to listen me is enough to calm my anger. Gifts and praises are not
always needed. Sometimes we have so many things inside us which we ourself can't handle. We need a person who can talk with us without judging, stay with us. Gifts and praises are for small cute fights which happens between siblings, couples, friends. That cute fights that
ends up laughing not crying. ❤

Sanjana: Your thoughts are always leave me speechless..😍

Sanjana: Which cartoon character you can relate yourself to and why?

Rishika: I can relate to Tom 😅 Because I am very clumsy as he is. He is very determined on getting Jerry as his meal even when everytime he fails. I am like that only. I give up easily sometimes but never quit or changed my path. I comes up with new ideas which might work. Tom is honest to his friends. He has also sign lifetime slavery for his loved ones to get her the best he can.

Sanjana: So you are also clumsy🤣🤣

Sanjana:Have you ever continuously yawned in the class sitting on the first bench? If yes, how did you manage the teacher's angry look?

Rishika: I had never yawned sitting in the class. I don't want to go outside from class🤣

Sanjana: What is the most embarrassing moment in your life?

Rishika: It happened when I was in 8th grade. Our class use to held in new building of our school but before assembly I've went to old building to my brother's classroom to give him some stationeries. I was descending from stairs and I slipped and fell down in front of office door and there were huge crowd because everyone is forwarding to the school ground for assembly and all started laughing and instead of standing up, I started laughing too and one of my teacher helped me to get up and she laughs too but when I saw that some Sirs were also standing there my cheeks turned red due to embarrassment 😂

Sanjana: Truly embarrassing🤣🤣🤣

Sanjana: So if you meet any Bollywood character out of Bollywood film who would it be and why?

Rishika: I would like to meet Kabir Dewan (Abhay Deol) from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara because he is so genuine, shy and very understanding person. He choose to be silent when
Natasha misunderstood him. He was ready to give up his happiness for his mother because it's his mother's wish to him getting married to Natasha. He was always surrounded my peoples but deep down he is kinda lonely. So I would like to meet him to share some experiences and to know some.

Sanjana: You loved understanding persons😁

Sanjana: If your books get the 'National Best Seller', whom will you thanks first in your thanks giving speech?

Rishika: I will thank my mom first because she is my inspiration. If I haven't saw that dedication towards writing in her I would never be able to even think about writing. So I will first say thankyou to my mom. Even now also I say thanks to her.

Sanjana: You loved your mom more than anyone in the world😁

would it be?

Rishika: A Phoenix. I can always rise from the ashes. I will get a new life after every 500 years ❤

countries would it be?

Rishika: France and Norway

Sanjana: If you have to bring a change in the society, which Topic/ Matter would be your top
priority?
