Born as Ganga Sagar Talwar, he wrote under the pen name of Sagar Sarhadi. Associated with the IPTA (Indian Peoples Theatre Association), he began his work in theatre, introducing new talents like Farooque Shaikh and Shabana Azmi.

He is known for making the iconic and courageous film Bazaar, about the sale of brides to affluent men in the Gulf. He wrote and co-wrote the scripts for many films which were as popular as they were powerful and memorable, including 'Noorie', 'Kabhi Kabhie', 'Silsila', 'Chandni'.

Respectful tribute to Sagar Sarhadis memory.
