About Mohar Basu
As Chief Correspondent at Mid-Day with over 14 years of experience in entertainment journalism, my work digs deeper into the complexities of the Hindi film industry, cinema, celebrity culture and systemic issues. I bring expertise in reporting on Bollywood’s evolving dynamics, from the revival of cross-border content to the industry’s reckoning with sexual harassment. My investigative reporting has spotlighted critical concerns, contributing to policy changes and fostering greater accountability.Alongside my work as an entertainment journalist, I have also authored the bestselling book SHAH RUKH KHAN: Legend, Actor, Star, which examines the superstar’s life and legacy through the lens of his fans. The book won the Best Non-Fiction (Popular Category) at the Crossword Book Awards 2025. My new book Salman Khan - The Sultan of Bollywood released in December 2025. I also write celebrity memoirs and conduct research for self-help books focusing on society, relationships, and cinema. In 2023, I was named in The Indian Achievers’ Club’s 40 Under 40 list for my piece on paparazzi culture and social media vitriol. I hope to inspire change in the media and entertainment through my reportage.
