\nActress Kalki Koechlin, who was the part of Audible.in launch in India and narrated the Audible adaptation of Hussain Zaidi\u2019s novel, \u201cMafia Queens of Mumbai\u201d, says that the first thing that came to her mind when she read the book was the powerful writing. She also says that stories of female dons are not heard so much.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst thoughts when I read the book many years ago was that it was so powerful! We don\u2019t hear about female dons. Jenabai is one of the characters I narrated, appears like this motherly figure to these gang-lords but she is also the one pulling the strings – and part of networking, master planning etc.<\/p>\n
\u201cSapna Didi was my favourite story that spoke of the complete transformation of a meek woman who changed and became this legend to avenge her husband\u2019s death,\u201d she told IANS on email from Mumbai.<\/p>\n
Kalki was present at the launch of Audible.in, a dedicated service for Indians by Audible, the world\u2019s leading seller and producer of downloadable audiobooks and other spoken-word content. She along with actors Rajkummar Rao and Radhika Apte have come together for the first time to narrate the Audible adaptation of the novel.<\/p>\n
\u201cMafia queens was a very good choice. So iconic of all these places in Mumbai that we know so well. We hear about Dawood\u2019s world, but we never heard about these women. Behind every great man is a woman. It\u2019s a full-fledged experience listening to \u201cThe Mafia Queens of Mumbai\u201d and there are so many great stories like these in Audible\u2019s library.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome are fully designed with sound and music. Most are driven only by the incredible power of the human voice. I can\u2019t wait to listen,\u201d said Kalki.<\/p>\n
The Audible app offers customers a platform for entertainment, education and provokes listeners. What do you think is the new definition of entertainment in India to which Kalki replied, \u201cEntertainment is online media. Podcasts, web series, audio content, Audible. We are busy and commuting all the time, so audio especially is so important.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can zone out and don\u2019t need to actively read or be focused on a book. We can consume great content in a very nice way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
