Actor Akshay Kumar, who is busy promoting his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2, reacted to comments on his films by other actors. During a press conference in Mumbai on Friday, the actor was asked about veteran actress Jaya Bachchan’s reported comment about his 2017 film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, where she said that she would not watch the movie because it had the word ‘toilet’ in the title.

Reacting to the question, Akshay said, “Ab agar unhone kaha hai toh sahi hoga, mujhe nahi pata. Agar Toilet: Ek Prem Katha ek aisi film banake maine koi galat kaam kiya hai... agar woh keh rahi hai toh sahi hoga (Now, if she has said so, then it must be right. If I have done something wrong by making a film like Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, then... but if she is saying it, then it must be right).”

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).
