Veteran Marathi actor Ashok Saraf has been selected for the Maharashtra Bhushan award, 2023.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde made the announcement on Tuesday. It is the highest award given by the state government.

In his congratulatory message, Shinde noted that Saraf not only played comedy roles but also gave stellar performances as a villain and in some serious roles.

The 76-year-old actor started his career in Marathi theater before achieving success with hit Marathi films such as “Ashi hi Banva-Banvi” and “Vajeer”. He later carved out a niche for himself in the Hindi film and TV industry too.

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).
