Veteran actress Farrukh Jaffar, who was recently seen in Gulabo Sitabo, died at the age of 89 in Lucknow on October 15.

Farrukh became popular with her roles in Peepli Live, Swades, Secret Superstar and Sultan. Screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi took to Instagram and wrote, “Begum is gone… Farrukh ji, there was no one, and there will be no one like you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing us to connect with you. Please stay safe in the other world of Allah. RIP…” Ayushmann Khurrana shared Farrukh’s picture with caption “Begum gayin. Rest in peace Farrukh Jaffar ji…”

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).
