Zee Theatre has announced its latest teleplay, Daag-O-Hijaab, which is based on an autobiographical chapter from iconic poet Daagh Dehlvi’s life and is a soulful tribute to his poetry and passion. Headlined by actor Shahbaz Khan, it is richly layered with personal anecdotes and will provide an insight into Daagh’s creativity and personality.

Daag-O-Hijaab also touches upon the lesser-known aspects of Daagh’s life, including his love for courtesan Munni Bai, against the wishes of Nawab Haidar Ali Khan of Rampur.

Shahbaz Khan plays Daagh with requisite gravitas and fervour supported by a sterling cast of actors including Payal Goga Kapoor, Sufi Sayyad, Hemant Soni, Satyendra Chauhan, Dipti Rajvanshi and Mithilesh Chaturvedi.

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).
