Srinagar, July 17

Junaid Shah, who shot to fame for his uncanny resemblance to Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, passed away due to a cardiac arrest on Thursday night.

The Valley-based boy turned a social media star in 2014 as he resembled Ranbir—which later helped him bag modelling assignments in Mumbai.

The news of his demise was shared by his relatives and friends on social media. They revealed that Shah took his last breath at his Elahi Bagh residence in Srinagar.

Shah’s popularity had risen after late Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor mentioned him on the microblogging website.

“OMG. My own son has a double!!! Promise cannot make out. A good double,” Kapoor had tweeted.

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).
