A new book giving a rare glimpse into the life of celebrated lyricist, Javed Akhtar's life was launched in Mumbai recently. Aptly titled 'Jadunama', the book is an account of Javed Akhtar’s extraordinary journey as a prolific writer, poet, lyricist, and activist – which has made him the humanist that he is today.
'Jadunama' was launched by Gulzar sahab and Javed Akhtar, along with author Arvind Mandloi and translator Dr Rakhshanda Jalil. The book was originally written in Hindi and later translated by Dr Jalil, bringing it to a wider audience.
