Roadies Revolution-fame Saqib Khan has bid goodbye to showbiz and has chosen the religious path. Sharing the news on Instagram, Saqib wrote, “…Today’s post is regarding announcement as I am quitting the showbiz. So, I won’t be doing any modelling and acting in future.” He also clarified that it is not due to lack of work, “I had good projects in line. Bus Allah ki marzi nahi thi…” Saqib also shared that it was tough struggling in Mumbai, but he is proud that he could earn such a fan following in a year.

However, he feels it’s all for the worldly benefits as he has not gained anything for life post-death. He wrote “In nutshell, I was going astray (gumrah) and was going against the tenets of Islam. I used to offer namaz but something was lacking and that was sukoon. So, now I am totally surrendering before Allah…”

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).
