Development and themes

In a February 2011 interview, Waheed said My Bollywood Wedding "addresses the pressures of interfering family members on Asian couples, the risks associated with turning Mr Right into Mr Forever and the financial burden of getting married these days" and "shows the realities of getting married in the modern day... but the underlying aim of the book is to show our women [Asian women] operate in a new modern era with a bit of sass."[1]

Release

My Bollywood Wedding was released by Little Black Dress on 9 December 2010.[2][3]

Critical response

Debs Carr of Novelicious.com said, "I liked this book, but did feel that Maya could have retaliated a little earlier against Seema's scheming and also would have liked to read more about Janghir. On the whole though it was a good read."[4]

TheBookbag.co.uk said, "...you'll get a good story – but there's also an intelligent and thoughtful story in there..."[5]
