After establishing himself as the quintessential family-drama hero, Akshay Dogra has now dabbled in the mythological genre with Jai Hanuman Sankat Mochan Naam Tiharo. The actor says, “I was a bit skeptical as I had been on a break from TV for a while. Also, this is a mythological show, something that I hadn’t explored before. However, those at the production house were extremely sweet and put me at ease instantly. They called me and asked me to give a test for the part. On a whim, I decided to give it a shot for experience and everything fell in place.”

Portraying a mythological character is far more challenging than the suited-booted avatar in a daily soap. The actor says, “A mythological show definitely requires tons of energy. As they say, heavy is the head that wears the crown.”

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).
