The term ‘nepotism’ often pops up in the context of newcomers in Bollywood. Now, Nia Sharma has shared her experience on nepotism. In a recent media interaction, Nia slammed those who claim that she isn’t ready for Bollywood as she said, “Somebody has the audacity to tell me that I am not ready for Bollywood and when you see a Bollywood star kid’s face, are they ready? Have they seen them? I am Please don’t tell me I am not ready or I look a certain way or I have to shape up.”

She also shared the time when she met a filmmaker who underestimated her skills because she began her career with TV. “There was a meeting for a part in Manikarnika. It was a stupid conversation. I didn’t go again. Kuch faayda nahi tha uss conversation ka, it was a waste of time.

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).
