Chandigarh, February 8

Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra Group, recently met the real-life couple who inspired the critically acclaimed movie, ’12th Fail’. The industrialist took to X and addressed IRS officer Shraddha Joshi and IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma, on whose lives the movie is based, as the true real-life heroes.

He wrote: “If India is to become a global power, it will happen more rapidly if more people adopt their way of life. So they are the real celebrities of this country. And their autographs are heirlooms,” adding that he is a wealthier man for having met 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).
