Fairmont Jaipur played host to the much-anticipated launch of actor-turned-author Huma Qureshi’s debut novel, Zeba: An Accidental Superhero, at the hotel’s elegant Zui venue. The afternoon event celebrated the actress’s entry into the literary world, blending sophistication with a passion for storytelling.
Distinguished guests, including Guest of Honour Vinnie Kakkar, attended the launch, which featured an insightful and intimate conversation between Huma Qureshi and journalist-author Tabeenah Anjum Qureshi. Moderated by Anjum Qureshi, the discussion offered an in-depth look into the creation of Zeba, a character embodying strength, contradictions, and quiet defiance, vividly brought to life within the regal surroundings of the hotel.
Rajat Sethi, General Manager of Fairmont Jaipur, remarked, “It was an honour to host the literary unveiling of Zeba. The novel’s voice is one of strength and subtlety—much like its author—and Fairmont Jaipur is proud to have been the setting where this remarkable story was shared for the first time. We continue to embrace moments that celebrate thought, culture, and creative evolution.”
