Learning from the best?

Rajkumar Hirani's longtime writing partner Abhijat Joshi has budding writers in his family too.

His 18-year-old daughter Anushka recently unveiled her book of poems and he turned up in support with some famous friends at a bookstore in Fort, South Mumbai.

Take a look:

Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Anushka Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi launch the book of poems, titled If Time Thinks.

Abhijat Joshi has co-written all Rajkumar Hirani films except Munnabhai MBBS, and recently worked on Vidhu Vinod Chopra's first Hollywood film Broken Horses.

 

Hirani is seen here with son Vir and wife Manjeet.

Anushka isn't the only star daughter foraying into writing.

Vir Hirani has written and edited a funny, yet moving story, titled The Two Comedians.

R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, who were a part of Hirani-directed 3 Idiots, turn up to lend support.

Lyricist Swanand Kirkire and music composer Shantanu Moitra arrive.
