 Vidya Balan admits to be in complete awe of Gulzar and says he's intstrumental in introducing her to Urdu literature. "My introduction to Urdu literature equals to Gulzar saab. I watched him on the Kalaghoda Festival many years ago reading the Karadi Tales. I USED TO BE so taken in by what I saw and what I heard that I STARTED to take an interest in Urdu literature too," she said on the launch of the album "Tera Bayaan Ghalib" at the side of Gulzar saab. "To me, there's only one person (Gulzar) I'M tongue-tied in front of. Vishal (Bharadwaj) so beautifully has called him the 'Safed Sufi'," the 33-year-old added. The album includes poet Ghalib's letters and poems recited by lyricist Gulzar and ghazals within the voice of late Jagjit Singh. Talking about Jagjit Singh, she said: "I BELIEVE for everybody my generation, ghazals means Jagjit Singh-ji and Urdu literature means Gulzar saab. Ghalib couldn't was delivered to us by anyone else but these two luminaries of Indian culture." Gulzar had also produced a TV serial, "Mirza Ghalib" in 1988, which had Naseeruddin Shah within the role of the poet.
