Kewal Kishan was born in 1913. He witnessed India gain Independence in 1947. He shared a smoke with India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and had the guts to say ‘no’ to Pandit Nehru on a particular occasion.

On India’s 69th year of Independence, here’s the amazing story of the Sabharwal family. From Ashok Kumar to John Lenon and now Michael Jackson, the Sabharwals’ love for film and music almost runs parallel with independent India’s history.

Here’s the story of a nation, told by its different generations.
