Chandigarh, December 3

Actor Samir Soni calls himself an introvert. It was his daily journaling that became an inspiration for his book ‘My Experiments with Silence’.

The actor-turned-author shares what it’s like to be in a world that is outgoing. Man is a social animal but not everyone is an extrovert. Being one of those, he gives a glimpse of how he made his way through it all.

The actor’s book ‘My Experiments with Silence’ hit the stands on November 27.

Talking about the book, Samir said: “These diary entries are an introvert’s entries of how I look at the world, how I have gotten my way through showbiz despite being someone who is not very outgoing. I have put together my heart in this book. At a time where people seek validation, I chose to turn to my safe place, my diary, and that’s how I discovered my real self”.

Explaining how being an introvert had its share of disadvantages and benefits.

He added: “I haven’t been someone who is socially very active and that might have been a disadvantage on most instances, but as an actor, it was an advantage for me because it enabled me to connect with my character better”.

An ecstatic Samir shared a post on his book being available on Amazon:

Through his diary, the actor provides an insight on how healing is never a linear process and hopes that the book will help the readers with answers to the questions that have long agitated the human mind.

Speaking about one instance where his diary bailed him out of the troubled waters of uneasy days, he concluded: “When I received my first award and my name was announced, it was rock silence, there was no one clapping for me but my diary helped me get through such days. I have put myself out there despite such lows, but in the end, I am also thankful for my highs, and my diary has truly helped me through all of it.”
