The missing paintings featured in ‘Kabhi Mein, Kabhi Tum’ have been returned to the artist
Safdar Ali Soomro, a talented artist from Daharki in Ghokti, Sindh, never imagined that his paintings would be featured in the smash hit drama Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum. He lost the paintings a long time ago.
Now, Ferrier Hall management has returned the paintings to the artist, who confirmed their discovery in a Facebook video.
“I was previously asked to collect my paintings on September 30, and I have now retrieved my paintings after many years.”
He demanded, “Over the past seven years, my paintings, which have earned crores of rupees by being displayed in various exhibitions, plays and cafes should also earn me royalty payments.”
He thanked the media for raising its voice, stating, “It was only due to media support that I was able to recover my paintings.”
Later, when the paintings were featured in the play Kabhi Mein, Kabhi Tum he raised the issue on social media, prompting the Sindh Culture Department to form a committee to investigate the matter.
The Inquiry Committee, in its report, claimed that Safdar Ali Soomro’s paintings were not stolen but remained in Ferrier Hall. The confusion arose because the paintings were frequently moved from one place to another for exhibitions, leading to the mistaken belief that they had been stolen.
