Zakir Khan’s stand-up special Tathastu is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video and he has been getting rave reviews. The comedian shared how the show exists because of his grandfather and Zakir’s memories of him. For the unversed, Zakir is the grandson the late Sarangi player and Padma Shri awardee Ustad Moinuddin Khan.

Zakir said, “I remember after my grandfather Ustad Moinuddin Khan passed away in 2017, I was talking to my friends about my relationship with him and how it evolved over the years. This is my tribute to him.”

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).
