Richa Chadha will next star in a dramedy film, tentatively titled Akhri Somvaar, the actor-producer announced on Friday. Chadha has also penned the script of the movie. Akhri Somvaar revolves around a successful TV producer who becomes desperate to get married after someone at work calls her a ‘childless cat lady’.

Richa said the movie is inspired by her experiences of growing up in a middle-class Punjabi household. “From my childhood, watching older cousins be set up for arranged marriages, emerged this deeply personal story that I think a lot of families will resonate with. When we graduate from college, we are full of dreams and ambitions. Somehow those dreams get dulled when we enter the job market...,” she said.

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).
