Because He Is

By Meghna Gulzar

Book Overview

We know Gulzar as a filmmaker, screenplay and dialogue writer, lyricist and poet. Because He Is reveals a deeply personal side of this cultural icon: the father.

In luminous prose, his daughter Meghna Gulzar reflects on her childhood and the man behind the legend. She portrays a devoted, hands-on parent who prepared her for school every day, braiding her hair and tying her shoelaces; who structured his demanding film career to finish work by 4 p.m. so he could be home when her school ended; and who wrote her a book each year on her birthday until she turned thirteen.

Tender, intimate and revealing, Because He Is offers a rare glimpse into Gulzar's private world and celebrates the quiet, enduring bond between a father and daughter.
