On Saturday (December 24), veteran actress Rajeeta Kochhar passed away due to cardiac arrest and kidney failure. She was 70. After her sugar levels shot up, she was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai on December 20.

She is remembered for her performances in shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Hatim. She was also a part of Bollywood movies such as Parwana, Rajnigandha and Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. Earlier, in 2021, she had suffered a brain stroke after which she took a break from work.

Rajeeta’s niece Nupur Kampani shared, “We had admitted her to the hospital on Tuesday . She was getting stable but then all her parameters failed and she passed away.”—TMS

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).
