After a gap of nearly 6 years, Ibaadat returned to Kolkata on 20th May, 2023 with its Sahir show staged at G.D. Birla Sabhagar. The show was scripted in our unique conversational style. In this musical drama, 14 of his most poetic film songs were rendered by 5 consummate singers while another 61 mukhdas/antaras were sung in tarannum. In addition, 29 of his ghazals and shers were also recited. The event received marvelous appreciation.

Ufff! is an extremely versatile word. It is used to express irritation, impatience and even frustration. But in its more sublime usage, Uffff! (yes, with many ffffs) is when you use it to express heightened marvel or a joyous disbelief. 'Sahir' was a very large Uffff! ऐसी शामें कम होती हैं, जो रौंगटे भी खड़े करे, और सुकून भी दे. Supriya Newar, Writer
