Away from vocal West to Indian soil and Punjabi protagonists, the story that charmed the imagination of the people was the live-in romance of poet Amrita Pritam and painter Imroz. This coming together had many variants as judged by patriarchal Punjabi culture. Imroz was younger to Pritam by seven years. While Imroz was single, Pritam was married and mother to a daughter and son. She was more famous and it was a union sans the bond of marriage. Last, but not least, it was Imroz who moved into her house and not vice versa, and they lived together till Pritam passed away in 2005.
