Shaleen Malhotra believes the entertainment industry has undergone a sea change and is going beyond stereotypes in terms of portrayal of a hero.

In his 15-year-old journey, he has played varied characters and has received acclaim for his performances in Arjun, Encounter, Ishqbaaaz, Adaalat, Yeh Hai Aashiqui, among others.

Professionally Shaleen may have grown by leaps and bounds but personally, he is emotionally perturbed. He recalls how the deadly coronavirus pandemic has cost him dearly.

“I was already going through a low phase, both financially and professionally, when I lost the biggest support and most important person in my life – my mother. That was a jolt because she was hale and hearty.”

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).
