Naseeruddin Shah's recent "Mughals were refugees" blunder aside, he did an absolutely marvelous job depicting Mirza Ghalib in a TV series in late 1980s.

Whether you are Hindu, Muslim or Sikh, do watch the whole series!
Mirza Ghalib wasn't just an exceptional poet, he was also an exceptional human being. Surrounded by all the same divisions of today: Sunni-Shia, Hindu-Muslim, he stayed above it all so naturally, so effortlessly, one with everyone.
No wonder he still touches your very soul!
