1934 (Jhelum) – Present • The Storyteller
"Born Sampooran Singh Kalra, Gulzar started his journey working as a car mechanic in a Mumbai garage. He evolved into a legendary filmmaker, author, and an Oscar and Grammy-winning lyricist. He is a true magician of words, known for creating intensely vivid visual imagery, breaking traditional meters, and introducing his own poetic form called 'Triveni' (a three-line poem). His work evokes a profound sense of nostalgia and human warmth."
