He continues an affair with Amrita, who is just as power hungry as?Sethji?and bored with her borderline-im...potent husband.?Sethji?appoints Amrita to set things right, who in turn seeks the help of MK a Bollywood producer, lawyer and a fixer.

The book continues to add characters in almost every chapter such as Simran the starlet with the bushy armpits, the industrialist Jaiprakash who is trying to come to terms with the fact that his mother has had an affair with her own nephew, Himmatram.?Sethji?packs an ample amount of sex, sleaze, and greed with Indian politics as the backdrop.
