Srinagar: Most of Rishi Kapoor’s early films were shot in the Kashmir valley. The hut where the popular song ‘Hum tum ek kamray main…’ was shot came to be known as ‘Bobby Hut.’ Filmmaker Mushtaaque Ali Ahmad Khan said the actor had promised to inaugurate the Kashmir World Film Festival (KWFF).

“I spoke to him last year. He promised to visit Kashmir with his family. We were planning to screen his films at the festival,” he told The Tribune.

The Highlands Park in Gulmarg shared a picture of the actor outside the ‘Bobby Hut’ and tweeted: “Rest in Peace Rishi Kapoor, saddened by the passing away of a wonderful person, icon and a real superstar. Gulmarg will always remember you.” Former CM Omar Abdullah posted on Twitter: “You made a little hut in Gulmarg an iconic place with one song…” — M Aamir Khan

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).
