After reading these touching lines, you would surely like to know a little more about Gulzar, the man himself. So, here is a quick fact about him:
Gulzar was born in a Kalra Sikh family in Jhelum District, British India (now in Pakistan) and his original name is Sampooran Singh Kalra. Initially, his father did not support his writing and consistently scolded him. Hence, he chose the pen name “Gulzar Deenvi” over his original name to sign his writings, and later simply ‘Gulzar’.
