'Mismatched' Star Prajakta Koli is Coming to the 2025 Sharjah Book Fair

Indian content creator-turned actress and author Prajakta Koli is set to appear at the 2025 Sharjah Book Fair in a highly anticipated session.

On Friday, November 7, 2025, Koli will speak about her debut novel Too Good to Be True at the Intellectual Hall in the Sharjah Expo Center, scheduled from 21:00 to 22:30. This event presents a unique opportunity for fans and book-lovers alike to hear directly from Koli about her journey from digital creator to author.

Prajakta Koli first rose to prominence via her YouTube channel “MostlySane”, where she built a large and engaged audience. She later transitioned into acting, most notably starring as Dimple Ahuja in the hit Netflix series Mismatched. Her background gives her a multi-faceted perspective: a digital native comfortable with the internet generation, but also an actress engaging with mainstream entertainment.

Her presence at the Sharjah Book Fair signals a key shift — from screen and online content into the realm of publishing. Her debut novel Too Good to Be True is the focus of her talk, offering attendees not just a glimpse of her writing but also her creative evolution. For attendees, especially those who know Koli through YouTube or Netflix, this is a chance to see a different side of her — as a storyteller on the page rather than on screen.

Beyond the novel itself, Koli’s session promises to touch on themes familiar to her brand: youth-oriented stories, self-expression, authenticity and perhaps the ups and downs of an influencer-turned-actor-author. For the Sharjah Book Fair, which brings together regional and international literary voices, her inclusion reflects an expanding definition of authorship and narrative — one embracing digital origins, cross-medium careers and younger audiences.

For those planning to attend: the session runs for one and a half hours, starting at 9:00 p.m. local time, in the Intellectual Hall of the Sharjah Expo Centre. It’s advisable to arrive early, as popular author events at the fair tend to draw crowds. Whether you’re a fan of her YouTube legacy, her Netflix acting career, or simply curious about her debut novel, this will be one of the must-see moments of the 2025 edition of the fair.
