Iconic Punjabi poet Amrita Pritam's long-time partner Imroz, who was a noted artist and poet himself, passed away in Mumbai due to age-related issues on December 22, 2023. Imroz was 97. While both Amrita and Imroz are now no more, their unconventional relationship and love story, which unfolded in 20th century Punjab, still continues to memerize people. Amrita and Imroz's relationship makes one believe in unconditional love, and the courage to defy all odds to be with the one you love the most.
Amrita Pritam's personal life was tumultuous, but it was Imroz who brought calm to her chaos. At 16, Amrita was married to Pritam Singh, one of her admirers, with whom she had a son named Navraj and a daughter named Kandlla. However, their marriage didn't last and it was her love for poet Sahir Ludhianvi which later became her obsession. But, Sahir and Amrita's relationship too was not meant to last. It was Imroz, who then became her anchor and support in life as years unfolded.
