“This woman is such an exquisite writer who understands not just detail, but she understands the detail of humanity, and she’s able to tell a story that brings in the humanity of all the characters and touches our own humanity,” says the television personality in her video.
The fiction novel follows a family who attempts to escape a near-future Kolkata, India, which is suffering from crime and food shortages. In her video, as Oprah notes that Majumdar is “going places” due to her talent, she can be seen wearing a white pantsuit, which involves a mini cropped blazer. Her signature dark hair was down and in waves, and she was all smiles as she embraced the author.

As time has passed, the Color Purple star has been transforming gradually, shedding pounds through various methods and being transparent about her struggles with losing weight and maintaining weight loss. She was famously the face of WeightWatchers for some time, boasting about how their points system assisted her and emphasizing how simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
More recently, she’s opened up about how she was prescribed and started using a GLP-1 medication, which has reportedly helped her lose around 40 pounds.
“The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for,” she told People at the end of 2023. “I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself.”
