In the second episode of season 3, Alif brings you face to face with MF Husain. Tune in!

Few artists have shaped modern Indian art like Maqbool Fida Husain — a painter whose bold strokes told stories of beauty, culture, and controversy. Known as the ‘Picasso of India’, MF Husain’s life was a canvas filled with triumphs and trials, adored by some and criticised by others.

In this dramatised episode of Qisse Kahaniyaan, we bring MF Husain’s voice to life through a skilled artist, letting him narrate his journey.

Step into the world of MF Husain and discover:

  • His rise from painting Bollywood posters to becoming India’s most celebrated modern artist.

  • The vibrant and thought-provoking artworks that made him a legend.

  • The controversies that led to legal battles, protests, and his eventual exile.

  • His journey from India to Qatar, and the unbreakable spirit of an artist who refused to be silenced.
