there are multiple movies, songs, poems, references made about this story. while a lot of people believe this story to be true and Heer Ranjha to have existed in real life, there is no actual evidence that suggests that they were real. there was a punjabi hindu poet named Damodar Gulati who was the first person to narrate this tale who, also claimed to be the eyewitness of this story. just look up Heer Ranjha on google and you'll be able to find multiple writings & art pieces about this tale. thanks!
