Yahya Bootwala

Yahya is among the first spoken word poets in India to reach national fame, inspiring millions with poems that feel as honest as they are relatable. His piece ‘Shayad Woh Pyaar Nahi Hai’ alone has over 18 million views. With more than 250+ shows across India, Yahya’s specials ‘Fankaar’, ‘Dialoguebaaz’ and ‘Alfaaz Ka Safar’ have filled auditoriums and made him the first spoken word artist to headline an international solo show in Dubai, the UK and Australia.
Beyond poetry, Yahya wrote and starred in ‘Sheher Ya Tum’, which won Best Short Film at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, and acted in ‘Alisha’, which was nominated for a Filmfare Award. His collaborations with Zee Music, Netflix, HP and more prove that poetry can belong anywhere, on stage, on screen and in hearts.
