Gulzar Reciting Poetry For Javed Akhtar In Viral Video Is Winning Hearts On Social Media
Javed Akhtar and Gulzar recently shared the stage for the launch of Arvind Mandloi's book on Akhtar titled 'Jadunama'.
Renowned lyricist-author-screenwriter Gulzar Sahib and Javed Akhtar recently shared the stage together at a book launch event.
The two magnanimous lyricists Akhtar and Gulzar unfurled magic by delivering some interesting stories from their personal lives and poetry. People hailed them as the "finest wordsmiths."
The video clip that has now gone viral starts with Gulzar bringing up Javed Akhtar's romantic song, 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga.'
In the video, the popular Bollywood lyricist can be seen humorously pointing out how he always imagined that the song was about multiple women, which prompted lyricist Javed Akhtar to burst into laughter.
In the later part of the video Gulzar Sahib goes on and recites a moving poem for Farhan Akhtar's father Javed. While reciting the poetry, Gulzar recalls an incident with a fan who had claimed to be the admirer of his work.
But, when she bid him farewell, she called Gulzar by Javed Akhtar's name, leaving him envious.
As the video surfaced on Twitter, many took to the comment section of Gulzar and Javed Akhtar's video to share their views. One user wrote, "A camaraderie that goes beyond rivalry and is full of appreciation for each other's talent and abilities. Kudos.
