Two years ago, Dia Mirza-starrer and Sonal Nair- directorial Kaafir made its debut as a web series and instantly connected with audiences across the world. Written by Bhavani Iyer, the series told the story of Kainaaz Akhtar, a woman who mistakenly crosses the LOC and is presumed to be a militant. Dia says, “It is difficult to not empathise with a woman who goes through so much suffering for no fault of hers. A woman is also a mother and no longer knows if she will ever experience a sense of home. It is a human story. It will always be relevant for its message of love and peace but is particularly pertinent now as we are being reminded by the pandemic of our shared humanity.”

She also won a Critic’s Choice nod for Best Actor (OTT) at Gold Awards.

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).
