Sony SAB’s Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey completed a successful run of one year recently. Celebrating this momentous occasion, the channel has partnered with veteran poet-lyricist-screenwriter Javed Akhtar to pay an ode to the endearing ‘family’ sentiment that is intrinsic to our roots.

In a specially penned couplet, Javed Akhtar has encapsulated the diverse emotions that bind Indian families, in resonance with the heart-warming storyline and congenial characters of the show.

Akhtar says, “In Wagle Ki Duniya, what has always struck me are the little moments, the joys and sorrows that we have shared together as a family and maneuvered through all situations in life, despite being different as individuals. The show, through its subtle yet substantial storyline and characters have managed to break the mould on television and bring a slice of life offering that delivers entertainment and social impact. I am delighted to associate with Sony SAB on the momentous occasion of Wagle Ki Duniya’s one year completion.”

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).
