Hope to catch up with it soon! T his is the 6th book that I read as part of the Brunch Book Challenge and as I said, IвЂ™ll be logging my opinion about every book that I read as part of this challenge. I am actually lagging with the book opinions considering the number of books that I have read. It compassed a universe of love, pain, acceptance, loss, remorse, sensuality and almost everything in between.I am back with a book opinion again. Sahir and Amrita love story is one such an experience. This too panned out through letters he reportedly returned her letters to Amrita before his passing away.ДЄs is often the case with sensitive people, love takes myriad shapes in their consciousness. For the first time in Sajjad HaiderвЂ™s company, Amrita realized that a poem does not only get created out of passion of love, it can come out of a deep friendship also.вЂќ Imroz was quoted in Indian Express as saying, вЂњSajjad also was a very close friend of Amrita since her radio days. However, the connect was at the level of friendship. What may come as a surprise to many is that Amrita had deep feelings for another person, Sajjad Haider, a friend from her radio days and one who moved to Pakistan. In her book, Rasidi Ticket, she has spoken about him evocatively and how they would sit and gaze into each otherвЂ™s eyes. While he hid his affections, she was always expressive about hers. Meanwhile, Sahir was a permanent fixture in AmritaвЂ™s life, even after she left him for Imroz, as he often figured in her writings. Sahir had immediately reacted saying nothing should be done to it as it was the cup in which Amrita had had coffee, the last time she had visited him! Narrating an incident told to him by another famous poet/lyricist of the day, Jaidev, Shukla said how once while collaborating on a song in the 1970s, Jaidev had noticed a dirty cup on the table and had remarked that it needed to be cleaned. However, if there was one woman he loved it was Amrita, the Sudha factor notwithstanding. His commitment to his mother was complete. His mother had brought him up as a single mother, after she left her abusive husband. (HT Photo)ДЄnother reason was his obsession with his mother (Sardar Begum), one that the said article, quoting a filmmaker Vinay Shukla says could have bordered on вЂњOedipal fixationвЂќ. Much of Amrita PritamвЂ™s love for Sahir Ludhianvi were expressed through her works. For one, love and relationships took a secondary place in his life, as compared to his вЂњsocial critiqueвЂќ and вЂњpolitical idealismвЂќ says the Firstpost article. However, some still believe that Amrita was his one true love and that there may have been several reasons as to why he couldnвЂ™t commit himself to her. Meanwhile, the relationship between Sahir and Amrita suffered its final blow when the lyricist reportedly began his relationship with singer Sudha Malhotra. He also said how he never bothered about her affection for Sahir as he was so sure of his love for her. In an interview to Indian Express, Imroz described his relationship with Amrita by saying while with Sahir, it was illusive, with him, it was real. She did eventually walk out of her marriage and, while she reportedly stayed with Imroz for four decades, they never married.

It was left for painter Imroz to fill in the void in AmritaвЂ™s life but that was much later. It is believed that Amrita was deeply in love and was willing to walk out of her unhappy marriage (she was married at 16) but Sahir never committed himself to this relationship. What is amazing is that although the two met on several occasions, their romance unfolded only through letters, silences and words. Her beauty and her talent with words and his passion and idealism were the ingredients of this fascinating yet agonising romance. It is said that their romance began, like it happens in films, instantly. A report in Firstpost says it was at a mushaira (poetry reading session) at a village somewhere between Lahore and Delhi.

It all began in 1944, when Amrita, a married woman, met Sahir, a budding poet and lyricist, for the first time. On SahirвЂ™s birthday on Friday, it is worth revisiting this amazing yet unrequited love story. Passion and pain were the only ingredients in this tragic love story. However, to an entire generation of Indians in the 1960s and 1970s, it was known and often spoken about. This is a story that was waiting to be told and one that the millennials should know. While Abhishek will be seen as the famous Bollywood lyricist Sahir, Aishwarya will play the role of the celebrated Punjabi poetess Amrita. According to a report in Mid Day, the biopic will star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles. Poet and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi and Punjabi poet Amrita PritamвЂ™s love story is the subject of filmmaker Sanjay Leela BhansaliвЂ™s next film.
