Poet Imroz, Amrita Pritam’s partner, passes away at 97

Mumbai : Noted poet and artist Inderjeet alias Imroz, known for his enduring relationship with poet Amrita Pritam Born on January 26, 1926 in Lyallpur, Punjab, Imroz met Amrita Pritam in the 1950s when she was already a well-established figure in Punjabi literature. They lived together for over 40 years until Pritam died in 2005.
Imroz began writing poems after Pritam started keeping unwell, and even after her death, he wrote poems dedicated to her. One of Pritam’s most celebrated works, ‘Main tainu phir milangi,’ is said to be dedicated to Imroz.

He passed away in Mumbai in Dec 2023 at the age of 97 due to age-related issues, family sources said.
Alka Kwatra, Pritam’s daughter-in-law, said that his last rites were performed at the Dahanukarwadi crematorium at Kandivli in north Mumbai in the presence of family and close friends.
