A.M. Turaz is an Indian Poet, lyricist, and script writer. He has been associated with more than 40 Bollywood movies so far. He was born on 19 September 1981 at Sambhaleheda village in Miranpur Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. He is extremely popular in Mushairas. Not only his poetry is great but the personality he gets to the stage is electrifying. He has the attitude of a rockstar when he performs on the stage of mushairas. It is not easy to pull that off but he does it with ease and in style. I am big fan of his work. Listen to the episode you will enjoy his poetry and I am sure you'll become a fan of A.M. Turaz like me.
