Gulzar in Karachi

Published February 10, 2013

A wave of joy ran through Pakistani fans of Indian lyricist and film director Gulzar when they came to know that he would be visiting Karachi to take part in the fourth Karachi Literature Festival starting from Feb 15.

Gulzar sahib has a huge fan-base in this country and has inspired a great many poetry buffs and a wide range of showbiz personalities in equal measure. Already quite a few functions are being organised to meet with one of the most influential creative individuals of the subcontinent. Looking forward to it.
