Truth dare: Honey Singh

Popular rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, who has opened up about his struggle with bipolar disorder and alcoholism, says he disclosed his issues to his fans and well-wishers because they deserve to know the reason behind his absence from showbiz. Singh, who is popular for numbers like Angrezi Beat, Manali Trance, Love Dose and High Heels, was away from the spotlight for almost 18 months. When asked how he gained the courage to speak about his problems, Singh said: “As an artiste, I believe that I am not my own property. I am the property of my fans. So they deserve to know what exactly happened.” Many speculated that he was at a rehabilitation centre. —IANS

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).
