Gulzar Shares Emotional Nazm and Memories with Divya Dutta | Sunday Special at Jashn-e-Rekhta

Описание: Gulzar and Divya Dutta on Urdu, Nazm and Life | Mehekti Khushbu Ka Safar | Sunday Special
.
A warm Sunday Special from Jashn-e-Rekhta. Gulzar speaks with Divya Dutta about language, writing, and the place of Urdu in his life. He says Indian languages are not regional in spirit. He recites short verses on Urdu and belonging. He shares personal memories of his father and the mother he never really saw. There is light humour around mistaken identity and the long, friendly comparison with Javed Akhtar.

Gulzar also talks about Mirza Ghalib and why he insisted on Naseeruddin Shah for the role. He remembers Sanjeev Kumar with affection and shares the paan story. The session closes with nazms on tenderness, memory, time, and the unease of the present.
