Tch, tch, tch… this is bad news for Reema, especially because the actress tries so hard to be counted as a poetry and literature lover. Last week, a mushaira (poetry symposium) was arranged by a doctors’ organisation in New York. Poets from all across the globe were participating. The first session of the event went smoothly. But in the second session when it was announced that Reema was going to host the mushaira, some poets, particularly India’s Nida Fazli, lost their cool. They protested that a traditional literary programme could not be anchored by a film actress. Nida sahib left the venue along with a few other verse-wielders. However, it did not affect Reema and she performed her duty till the time her stint on stage allowed her to.

What a pity! Can you read out any couplet for the situation Reema?
