Besides entertaining his fans on screen with his acting skills, Kettan Singh is a writer also. He has written for shows like Actor Calling Actor, Nautanki – The Comedy Theatre and Jaaved Jaaferi’s Once More. He says, “Basically, I am an actor but writing comes naturally to me. When I was doing Shankar Jaikishan 3 in 1 and Apna News Aayega, every time I got a script, I made sure I would add a line or two to the script. I did the same with my film 7 hours To Go and Marathi film Vicky Velingkar.”

As for his inspiration, he adds, “You can’t have one inspiration, there are multiple. I am not a good reader so I like to listen to audio books rather than reading. Every writer is different in his approach and inspired by a set of other writers. I have my own style of writing and it comes from various other writers that I listened to or read.”

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).
