Zee TV’s primetime drama Kumkum Bhagya is set to take two-year leap. As an all-new chapter unfolds post-leap, audiences will see lead actors Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha in new avatars.

Abhi, played by Shabir Ahluwalia will be seen as a dejected drunkard who sings only occasionally to fund his addiction. Pragya, played by Sriti Jha, will be seen as a powerful figure in a multinational company, thus adding a new dimension to her character.

Talking about the leap, Sriti says, “The leap holds a lot of excitement for our audiences as Abhi and Pragya’s destiny is all set to change completely. While Abhi will be seen as a broken man who’s taken to the bottle, viewers will see my character turn into a powerful corporate professional at a multinational company in another country. I look forward to approaching the character from a new aspect and hope to do it well.”

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).
