Writer, lyricist, director Gulzar has added yet another feather to his cap. The veteran who has earned several accolades for his literary work will now be a part of the prestigious Panjab University. In fact Gulzar has accepted the honour of occupying the Tagore Chair at Panjab University.
Gulzar will not just be interacting with the students of the university but will also be delivering lectures as a faculty member.
