Earlier this month, Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda turned author.

Shweta released her book Paradise Towers in Mumbai.

On Wednesday, the father-daughter duo were seen promoting another book in the city.

Skin specialist Dr Jaishree Sharda has come out with her second book Skin Rules which was launched by Amitabh and Shweta Bachchan.

Dr Sharda seemed to have a famous following in Bollywood.

Check out these pictures from the star-studded launch last evening:

And so did Maniesh Paul.
