Himani Shivpuri is back to her first love of theatre with Zee Theatre’s classic drama Hamidabai Ki Kothi. She plays Hamidabai, a spirited artiste of the dying Kotha tradition, who is determined to not let the demands of popular culture corrupt her establishment, despite societal and financial pressure. The actress portrays the anguish of an artist forced to let go of her identity as she imbibes the character of a quintessential kothawali with élan.

A Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee, Himani Shivpuri shares, “Playing Hamidabai was an eye-opener to how much we’ve lost in the evolution of our culture and society. In many ways, she mirrors my personal journey, of a woman fighting to stay true to her passion despite all odds. I hope the play inspires the viewers. My overall experience had the added bonus of working with Vijayabai, a legend.”

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).
