What, Really, Are The Rules Of Love?
Cosmopolitan India|January - February 2024
Shenaz Treasury's latest creative effort, All He Left Me Was A Recipe, is an ode to all the men she's dated, with just that zesty, unputdownable flair of fiction.

What, Really, Are The Rules Of Love?

How many times have we sat with our friends, hopefully sipping on and biting into whatever nourishes our souls, and asked “Could a boy be threatened by a girl’s success? Once the unattainable becomes attainable does love end? Do no butterflies mean no love? Is there any logic in love? In a world of options, is monogamy too much to expect?”. The unending list of dating woes goes on...

Now picture the enticing world of actors and influencers, those on-camera lives we so badly want an off-camera peek into.

Squished perfectly in between is Shenaz Treasury’s latest creative endeavour, a book that trapezes (yes, we’re inspired by the sixpack Brazilian, Cirque du Soleil performer she dated), tumbles, and traverses the many (hey, why not, we’re cheering!) boys she’s dated.

We caught up with the actor, former veejay, and now author to see if she could let us in on some of the pertinent questions she asks the readers in her writing debut.

When did being single become equivalent to being desperate?
