Actor Anurag Sharma, who is seen in Colors’ show Doree — essaying the role of Anand Thakur, the evil son of a dominating matriarch in the thought-provoking social drama — is enjoying his role to the hilt.

Anurag says, “Doree gave me the chance to reconsider my perspective as an actor and challenge myself. Through this show, I learnt what it’s like to be perceived as the villain. I’ve always been drawn to roles that showcase a character’s journey and metamorphosis. Playing Anand offered me the opportunity to delve deeper into the psyche of someone who craves power and follows patriarchal norms without questioning the authority that safeguards them. I realised that within every antagonist lies a narrative waiting to be heard. It’s not about justifying their actions but understanding the human elements that drive them.”

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).
