‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain’s Aasif Sheikh and Saumya Tandon recite soul-stirring poem-watch video

Amid the lockdown, celebs are keeping their fans entertained by showing their hidden talents. While some are coming up with songs, while some are showing their poetic side. ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain’s Aasif Sheikh and Saumya Tandon have recited a poem that is apt for the current situation.

Both the actors have come up with a series of videos where they will be reciting poems of renowned poets. The first one in the series is of Bashir Badr’s poem “Yunhi be-sabab na phira karo”.

As reported by IANS, Aasif Sheikh said, “Saumya and I are poetry lovers and had been planning to do something related to poetry for over a year now. But due to our work schedule, we couldn’t find time. But this lockdown gave us this opportunity to make our long-standing dream a reality. We both are quite excited about it as it has come out well.”

He further said, “I have always admired Bashir Badr sahab’s style of poetry and how he pens down his observation of the world and its people through couplets and verses. He visited our home during the Eid festivity, and we all were so mesmerised with his delightful rendition of his poetry. The verses ‘Yun hi besabab na phira karo’, in a way, aptly expresses the current scenario and hence we decided on reciting it.”

Saumya said that she has been reciting Hindi, English and Urdu poems on her social media pages. “Poetry is a soul soother, it’s the song of the soul which expresses life, people’s struggle and emotions through the medium of words,” she said.

She also said that they chose this as their first poem to recite as it depicts everyone’s sentiments at this challenging moment.
