Sathya Saran

Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh drew huge crowds in Pakistan during his maiden trip to the country in 1979 even as he remained under surveillance by a Pakistani intelligence official, who incidentally turned out to be a fan, according to a new book on the late singer.

During his initial days in Mumbai, composer S D Burman's experiments with music were hit-and-miss affairs so he decided to give up his ambition of composing for Hindi films and return to Kolkata when he was persuaded by actor Ashok Kumar to stay back.

Sathya Saran is taking her biography of Bollywood legend Guru Dutt to the masses by enacting the book with a cast of six characters across India.
