Early life

His Sanskrit was much better than his Hindi, and of course, than his English. His determination to impress someone led him to write his first book. It changed everything for him with his later books, which were inspirational and based on true stories. [11] [12] Anuj recently married his long-time girlfriend Anushka, also known as Sneha Panday. All five of his books are inspired by their own love story. [13] [14]

Career

Tiwari has spoken at TEDx conferences in India. [15] [16] [17] [18] He claims to have not read even a single book, therefore having no derived inspiration from authors. [19] [20] He writes about reality to which readers can relate. His first book, Journey Of Two Hearts, was based on a diary (given to him by his girlfriend) he wrote in when he was in a hospital. His more recent book, It Had to Be You, is again a reflection of reality. [19] He is now an author of five books based on real incidents. [21] Having spoken in many colleges and universities, his stories are based on real-life scenarios that he has recorded over the years.

  9. Ishq Uthal Puthal (2020) [37]
  10. Dil Raazi Ishqbaazi (2021) - क्या जिंदगी के नियमों और शर्तों के बाद भी आप उसे आसानी से गुजार सकते हैं? या उसकी वैधानिक चेतावनियों के बावजूद खुलकर सपने देख सकते हैं और उसे पूरी तरह जी सकते हैं? यह उपन्यास एक ऐसी युवा जोड़ी की कहानी है जो मानती है कि जीवन में कोई रिप्ले या रिवाइंड बटन नहीं होता। अनुज ने कभी सोचा भी नहीं था कि उस जिंदादिल पाखी के लिए उसके एहसास एक दिन उसकी कल्पना से परे परवान चढ़ेंगे जो प्यार में क तक नहीं करती थी। अभी सबकुछ ठीक होता दिख रहा था कि हमेशा की तरह जिंदगी उनके मंसूबों पर पानी फेरने लगती है। आसान शब्दों में यह कहानी हमें परिवार, भरोसा, समर्पण और दोस्ती के महत्त्व को बताती है। ‘किसी से प्यार करना मुश्किल नहीं, मगर सच्चा साहस सदा के लिए उसका हो जाने में है।’. [38]
