Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur was honoured with the India Global Forum’s Special Award for Lifetime Contribution to UK-India relations at the recently concluded Fifth Annual UK-India Awards ceremony.

The award was presented in recognition of his dedication and efforts in strengthening bilateral relationship between the two nations. Kapur’s storytelling, understanding of both cultures, and body of work have had an impact on the global partnership. The event, held on June 29, brought together over 400 senior leaders from diverse sectors, including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Shekhar Kapur’s movies Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age have done well and his most recent movie, What’s Love Got To Do With It? was recently nominated for nine British National Film 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).
