Fatima Sana Shaikh says true equality in love means mutual respect and understanding, which she believes exists only in film. The actress is coming out with her film Aap Jaisa Koi, a romantic drama that delves into the lives of two unique individuals, Shrirenu Tripathi (Madhavan) and Madhu Bose (Shaikh).

The movie, directed by Vivek Soni of Meenakshi Sundareshwar fame, explores the theme of equality in love and relationships.

“The idea of equality of love is where two people respect each other, and they will listen to each other and won’t deny it. I think that is an equal relationship now and compromises need to be done by both,” she says.

Has she found such love in life? The actress says, “No one is there. No good guys. They exist only in films.” The film is set to release on Netflix on July 11.

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).
