Vijay Medtia on Love, Crime & Delhi in ‘Ring Twice for Mrs Naren’

Vijay Medtia discusses ‘Ring Twice for Mrs Naren’, a noir tale of lust, guilt, and betrayal set in 1998 Delhi.

 August 11, 2025

By Ravinder Kaur

"Love has the tremendous power to purify."

Set against the backdrop of 1998 Delhi, Ring Twice for Mrs Naren by Vijay Medtia is a sultry noir tale steeped in desire, secrecy, and danger.

The novel reimagines the classic love-triangle-gone-wrong through a distinctly South Asian lens, tapping into a richly atmospheric world where ambition and morality collide.

Medtia’s story follows Anand Sinha, a struggling lawyer drawn into a web of passion and betrayal by the enigmatic Leela Naren.

The novel explores how far people will go when lust, greed, and guilt take hold, challenging readers to question their moral boundaries.

From dimly lit rooms and landline calls to covert meetings under the veil of cultural conservatism, the Delhi of the late 90s becomes a character in itself, echoing the novel’s tensions between modernity and tradition.
