Delnaaz Irani is donning the role of a cop for her new show Hijack. Her role is inspired by Rani Mukerji’s character in the movie Mardaani. “My character is inspired by Rani’s character in Mardaani. I have seen both the movies, and I think Rani has done a fabulous job. I have always been a huge fan of her, and I have tried to replicate her style,” says Delnaaz.

She adds, “Even when you think of Rani, you think of a sweet, delicate kind of girl, you do not think of her as a police officer. But she did it. So even with my personality, if Ujjwal (producer) and the team thought of me as a cop, I am sure they must have thought of something and I don’t think I have disappointed them.”

The actress recently joined the cast of Choti Sarrdaarni.

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).
