The Sahir Lodhi

Sahir Lodhi loves talking, in fact, he is perpetually on talk mode even when he is not on the waves hosting Houston's popular "Music Marathon' or djing his own radio show 'Geetmala', both on AM 1180. But that's not all that he does with ease and confidence.

Lodhi is multi talented young man originally from Pakistan who shot to fame as the DJ almost instantly with the launch of the desi radio station and continues to woo his listeners to an arrayed selection of old and new Pakistani and Hindi filmi songs and ghazals everyday. His popularity as a DJ is however, more by chance then choice. "I never did radio before I came to Houston. Stage is where I belong," Lodhi confessed, in his exclusive interview with this reporter soon after he announced the launch of his home production "Deewar', a play written, directed and enacted by Lodhi to be released in Houston on Friday April 2 at the Stafford Civic Center.
"Deewar' presented by VIRSA and Affordable Mortgage Inc., is a sensitive melodrama weaved around the oft attempted issues of Kashmir – religious fragmentation and persistent terrorism. The central character – a Pakistani Muslim spy played by Lodhi himself, portrays the sensitivities of a hardcore, highly trained spy who is entwined in emotions unfamiliar to him before his encounter with a Kashmiri Hindu boy. What gets better of him, his duties or his humane feelings for the boy suffering from leukemia, is for the audience to watch and judge.
Asked what his true feelings were behind the whole idea of the play and if he was trying to be an ambassador of peace? Lodhi replied simply, "I'm just an artist and art is the best form I can express myself." But Lodi was surely attempting more then just entertaining with his play, when he stated, "There is so much hatred between India and Pakistan that it goes beyond Kashmir," he said. "You can live on either side of the wall as long as you don't hate each other and don't make religion as the base of your decision and judgment," he said in all earnest.
Deewar, which took two and a half years in the making, is a subject obviously very close to the writer's heart and he feels that his entire team has done great justice to their roles. He liberally gives the credit to his team who he says have treated the subject with great sensitivity and sincerity.
Lodhi, a child prodigy who has been acting on stage since he was six years old, hopes to make it to the big screen one day. His play is already on DVD and video. Though not formally trained in acting, he shows tremendous confidence. Agreeing to the fact that stage is more challenging then films, he said, " Stage is very rude as t tells you right in your face where you stand," "But I have dealt with situations all my life and with my experience in acting I feel very confident," he added.
And as the theme of the play goes 'moments are life, and life can change,' we can only wait and see the artist at his best.
