Television actress Helly Shah is all set to debut in the web world with her short film Happy Birthday. The short film was made in 2018 but is releasing on October 2 this year. All this while the film has been doing the rounds of various festivals and has won many awards. The lead actress, Helly Shah, won the award of Best Actress in the 9th CLAP National Short Film Festival.

Helly tells us about Happy Birthday, “I’ll not say that the story is very relatable. It is quirky and interesting. There is suspense towards the end. And there are fun elements in the story. My character is called Sabaa. It is about how she parties all night and asks someone for a lift as she has to reach home before her dad’s 50th birthday. There is a message. And we have tried to send across that message in a very fun way.”

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).
