Daisy Shah landed in a controversy after striking a pose with Khaled Hosseini’s novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. The picture shared by the actress was criticised by social media users as she was seen smiling in it. “Just smile, because it works,” read the caption of the picture. As soon as she posted the photo, the actress began to receive flak since the book tells the story of a girl who’s suffers from the stigma around her birth as an illegitimate child and even faces abuse in the marriage!

Soon after posting the picture, Daisy tweeted, “You don’t know me or my life…” However, the actress deleted the tweet later!

Eventually, as the backlash continued, she apologised and withdrew the photo.

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).
