Rishi Kapoor often shares throwback pictures on social media. These pictures are either from his family album or his movies or of his friends from the industry. Now, Rishi’s recent throwback post on Twitter has caught attention. Rishi posted a black and white, worn-out picture of a legendary actor disguised as a woman and asked his fans to guess who it was!

Sharing the picture, Rishi Kapoor wrote, “Need you to tell me who this person is? If someone already knows the answer through a different source, please refrain from disclosing. Let’s not spoil the suspense for others. Thank you. I give you 10/20/50 guesses. Answer coming soon!!” Soon, his post was inundated with guess and interestingly, many of fans guessed it right and claimed it was veteran actor Pran. Later, Rishi also confirmed the same and even called him a master of disguise.

A fan commented, “This is legendary actor Pran. He was unmarried at that time. In his elder brother’s marriage, he surprised his newly married bhabhi by posing as his brother’s lover. This year is his birth centenary and his son Sunil Sikand released this snap from their family album.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
