Bollywood Legend Lyricist Life Story: The lyricist we are talking about is the shining star of Hindi cinema. He wrote many memorable songs, which people still sing and sing. He was born on 18 August 1934 a Hindu …Read more
Gulzar’s poetry, songs and partition in the nazams, the fragrance of the streets of Delhi and the shadow of Ghalib’s works are found. He himself said in an interview that he considers himself a ‘culture Muslim’, because he has adulteration of both Hindi and Urdu. This thing is also visible in his writing. He started as a lyricist in 1963 with Bimal Roy’s film ‘Bandini’, in which the song ‘Mora Gora Rang Lile’, still looks as innocent and darker as it would probably then. After this, he wrote one beautiful songs. The list is very long but ‘Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi Shikwa’, ‘Kajrare Kajrare’ and ‘Chaiya Chaiya’ are three such songs that introduce different colors of Gulzar’s pen. In his writing, the journey from the streets of Ballimaran of Delhi to the trains of Mumbai is felt.
Born on 18 August 1934 in Jhelum (now Pakistan), Gulzar’s real name is Sampoorna Singh Kalra. They still bind people with their simplicity, sensitivity and depth of words. But if Gulzar’s life can be understood deeply from any one perspective, then that is his daughter Meghna Gulzar! Meghna (whose love name is Boski), who is a successful film director, has told many times on public forums that his father not only played the role of a great writer or lyricist, but also lived life like a responsible and sensitive parent.
Meghna raised a mother like a mother
Gulzar married actress Rakhi in 1973. But when his daughter Boski was only one year old, Gulzar and Rakhi separated. After separation, Gulzar played a full role in Meghna’s upbringing. In the Jaipur Literature Festival 2019, Meghna had emotionally said that her father never rebuked her, but the discipline always maintained her. Gulzar himself would prepare Meghna for school, make her peak, polish shoes and take time out of school at 3:30 pm. He did not leave any work that Meghna feels lacking mother. He had told that Gulzar always allowed him to live independently, but never compromised on studies. He had only one rule, ‘Complete studies, after that do whatever you want.’ Perhaps this is the reason that Meghna herself is a successful director today, who showed her skills through films like ‘Raji’, ‘Chhapak’ and ‘Sam Bahadur’. Not only Gulzar’s writing, his voice is also strong. Many television advertisements and films look like a poem. This is the reason that even today when he speaks something on the stage, people just calm down and listen and say ‘not Shikwa….’
