Dr.Ravisha Bhardwaj

Dr. Ravisha Bhardwaj was born in Chandigarh, in India’s north, and currently lives in the “Royal City” of Patiala. Passionate about health and wellbeing, this multi-tasking mother is also one of the few female orthopaedic surgeons serving in a government-run hospital in India. When her son was only a few months old, Ravisha was distressed to see a family acquaintance kissing him on the mouth before he was old enough to consent. It inspired her to write this book, to help children distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate physical interactions. However, authoring her first book is just the latest in a series of artistic and sporting successes for Ravisha. A multi-medallist (including gold) at a national level in Fencing, she also loves to draw, paint, and has sung traditional Indian music on her YouTube channel @RavishaBhardwaj. Ravisha is already planning the next books in her Speak Up! series for kids.
