Saanand Verma, widely recognised for his role as Anokhelal Saxena in Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain, has garnered admiration for his powerful performances across film and television. Known for his roles in Chhichhore, Pataakha, and Babli Bouncer, Verma shares insights into how he navigates his career and why he embraces a range of diverse roles, often stepping away from the norm.

“Typecasting happens a lot in the industry, but I don’t let it limit me,” Saanand explained. “If a role offers something new, even if it’s small, I go for it.” He believes that typecasting is a natural phenomenon, but the key is to constantly challenge oneself. “I take up roles that allow me to explore new facets of myself as an actor,” he continued.

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).
