To the Moon
“How I Blogged My Way to Bollywood”
Malini's first book, To the Moon, became a bestseller for its deeply personal and refreshingly honest reflection on ambition, reinvention, relationships, and building a life on your own terms. Written with the same warmth, optimism, and emotional candor that defined her public voice, the book invited readers behind the scenes of both the glamour and the growing pains — exploring the realities of success, identity, vulnerability, and self-discovery in a rapidly changing world.

Under the Influence
“How to survive and thrive online”
Under the Influence drew on Malini's years at the center of India's digital revolution to confront the harder truths of life online — trolling, body-shaming, cancel culture, and the toll they take. With characteristic honesty and empathy, she unpacked the psychology of online hate and offered practical, hard-won tools for navigating it, making the case that the internet can still be a place of positivity, resilience, and genuine connection.
