Mumbai, July 28

Veteran actor Kumkum (86), who featured in classic Hindi movies such as CID and Mother India, passed away on Tuesday. Kumkum, whose real name was Zaibunnissa, died at around 11.30 am at her Bandra residence due to age-related issues, her sister-in-law Shenaz said.

Mourning the death, singing legend Lata Mangeshkar tweeted, “I’m really sad. May her soul rest in peace.”

Actor Jaaved Jaffery and producer Naved Jafri paid tributes to her on Twitter. Their father Jagdeep also died earlier this month.

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).
