Farah Khan’s daughter Anya Kunder has been raising money through her sketches to help stray animals amid the coronavirus pandemic. Farah had also shared the sketch that Anya drew and it was appreciated by many Bollywood celebrities, including Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Zoya Akhtar, Tahira Kashyap, Aditi Rao Hydari and Sonu Sood. And now, Farah Khan’s good friend Abhishek Bachchan has come forward and given Rs1 lakh for one of the sketches.

Farah took to Instagram to thank Abhishek and wrote, “Who gives 1 LAKH for a sketch?? Only @bachchan.. that straightaway doubles Anya’s charity drive! Thank you my mad big hearted crazy boy…”

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).
