The veteran had written the book during the COVID-19 pandemic. He had previously written, The Pandemic Has Changed Our Lives Forever. Taking to Twitter, Kher said the COVID-19 has "put us on the path of self-discovery, willpower, small triumphs & the strength of positive thinking. I managed to write a book about all this in this lockdown".
In November last year, he announced that he was coming up with his third book Your Best Day is Today.
He has received another major support for his book from renowned author Paulo Coelho.
Kher had posted a video while signing his book with copies of Paulo Coelho’s The Archer at his side and expressed pride about being in the company of the author. The latter had then congratulated Kher and responded with 'my honour' on the post.
