While we know him as Mohsin Khan today, very few know that his name was not Mohsin initially. The actor, who is the leading man of Ye Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, was called Wasim before his name was changed to Mohsin.

“For a few days, everyone was confused over the name. Some suggested Wasim as my abba’s name is Abdul Waheed and

they felt that my name should also start with ‘W’,” he says.

He adds, “Later, abba took me to Ajmer Sharif Dargah and kept my name Mohsin. Since my ammi’s name is Mehzabin, he felt that my name should start with ‘M’.”

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).
