Resham does Parveen Shakir on Instagram

Veteran actor Resham is known for cinema-reviving movies like Jeeva and Sangam and her successful foray into the 90s drama industry in the presence of heavyweights.

The actress was in news for her comments about Imran Khan’s ex-wife Reham Khan, something she clarified the very other day, but if one visits her Instagram, one sees she has great fondness for good Urdu poetry.

The actress, unlike others in the industry, not only loves poetry but also shares her poetry-recitals on Instagram.

Here is one video of her reciting Parveen Shakir’s poetry from her collection ‘Khushbu’ (fragrance)

Suntay hain qeemat tumhari lag rahi hai aaj kal
Sub se achay daam kis ke hain batlaana humein

Takay us khush bakht taajir ko mubarakbad dein

Aur us ke baad dil ko bhi hai samjhana humein
