Paras Madaan, who is currently seen in Pocket Mein Aasmaan on Star Plus, says TV shows need to update their stories as far as women characters are concerned. He adds that the portrayal needs to be more realistic and stronger. “While progress has been made, I believe TV shows still need to update how they portray women on screen. Stereotypes and regressive roles persist, limiting women to idealised daughters-in-law, sacrificing mothers or seductress archetypes. However, a new wave of shows is challenging these norms, presenting complex, multi-dimensional female characters.”

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).
