What Meghna said about her father Gulzar

Meghna said, “I exploit being his daughter when he is writing my songs and ‘haq se’ (by right). If I don’t like a line, I tell him, ‘Abhi dusri line likh ke dijiye, abhi chahiye gaana, abhi poora karna hai’. Utna toh haq hai, utna toh lungi (Give me another line. I need to complete it now. That much is my right and I will claim it).”

Vicky talks about Meghna and Gulzar

Vicky said, “It is like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (tennis icons) are playing their best game against each other. I was blessed to see this moment between Gulzar sahab and Meghna. Gulzar sahab would tell me, ‘Kya karoon beta yeh director impress hee nahi hoti’ (What do I do son? It is very difficult to impress this director). I would be like, ‘Beti kiski hai’ (After all, whose daughter is she?).”

Meghna said she may exploit their father-daughter relationship to get lyrics on demand, but the poet-lyricist-director has been a major influence in instilling the importance of hard work in her. Some of the memorable songs from their movie collaborations include the title track of Filhaal as well as Ae Watan and Dilbaro from Raazi.
