Not all distances are measured in miles, some are measured in memories. We invite you to celebrate the Times of India completing 175 years at a special evening at Bandra Fort, Mumbai, on January 23, where Sukhwinder Singh will perform live.
The biggest treat of the evening will be the presence of super human being Salman Khan. Salman shares a strong similarity with the Times of India.Much like we pride ourselves in being connected to our readers and their concerns, Salman is a superstar who is extremely connected to his audience.
READ: Salman Khan goes all out for Jai Ho
He told us, “For 175 years, to be able to keep your dignity alive deserves a big salute. It is the most difficult thing. In this day and age, it is so easy to go astray, but for three generations to keep the same quality control, the same priorities, is phenomenal. If I visit a place where I have had childhood memories with my family or where there was a cultural bonding, I feel weird if there is a change, even though it may be for the better. For instance, if a building has come up in a place where I used to play and even if the building has come up for the betterment, I don’t like it. From the time I started reading a newspaper, it was the Times of India. We get lots of newspapers in our house, but jab tak TOI nahi aata, I feel incomplete. My first memory of the Times of India was learning my alphabets seeing the paper, where I was taught yeh ‘T’ hai, yeh ‘O’ hai, yeh ‘I’ hai. TOI stands for the truth and being unbiased. It does not create random gossip and is apolitical. The Times of India is the leading newspaper of our country for the past 175 years. Only something that is so good can lead for so many years.’’
Sukhwinder Singh:
“TOI jhoot ka shaukeen nahi hai. There is gossip, but that is only to spice up the paper and make it colourful. Renowned hai, respected hai, rangeen hai, but Timeske khoon mein jhoot bolna nahi hai. It cannot afford to speak a lie as it knows that its image is such that if TOI is carrying news, it has to be the truth. The Times of India has a strong past. Past creates experience, experience works in the present and the present makes your future.”
