Salim Diwan and Dharmendra often meet over chai in Lonavala

When a veteran actor is your neighbour you can expect some interesting Bollywood tales. Salim Diwan often sips tea with his favourite actor. The actor is neighbours with Dharmendra in Lonavala and has the opportunity of meeting him quite often.

Says Salim, “We used to meet over chai and discuss cinema and the current situation of our industry. Dharam ji has plenty of stories about his long journey. He has such an amazing personality and I love him from the bottom of my heart.”

He also praised him for his grasp over Urdu language and said, “I love his shayari. Dharam ji is a very grounded and real personality.”

Salim says his favourite Dharmendra movies are Sholay, Loha, Yamla Pagla Deewana and Apne.

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).
