Veteran actress Neena Gupta does not like middle seats on flights. Recently, she shared a funny anecdote revealing her prejudice. “On a flight recently, I was allotted a middle seat. I went to the customer support staff to request for a window seat or an aisle seat,” Neena said.

However, the actress couldn’t get a seat of her choice, so she decided to take resort to her celebrity status. She tried telling the staff member that she was a Bollywood actress.

“I told her I had acted in Badhaai Ho but she didn’t recognise me. I questioned her why she hasn’t watched such a great film. She countered me asking if I watched Tamil movies,” recalled Neena on The Kapil Sharma Show, about her encounter with the support staff lady, who was a Tamilian!

Neena will be next seen in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. — IANS

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).
