A day after the sad demise of director Esmayeel Shroff, veteran director Shiv Kumar Khurana passed away on October 27. He was 83 and died of age-related illnesses.

Shiv Kumar Khurana was known for directing movies such as Mitti Aur Sona, Badnaam, Be Aabroo and Sone Ki Zanjeer, to name a few. Apart from direction, he worked as a producer for three of his films – Dagabaaz, Hum Tum Aur Woh and Ang Se Ang Lagaley. Shiv Kumar Khurana was the first filmmaker to sign Vinod Khanna as a solo lead hero in his film Hum Tum Aur Woh. The late filmmaker had also launched Vindu Dara Singh. Shiv Kumar Khurana’s prayer meeting was held on Friday. He is survived by his wife, two sons and their families.

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).
