Nari Hira, the esteemed owner of Mumbai-based Magna Publishing Co Ltd, passed away on August 23, 2024. Hira’s remarkable success began with the launch of Stardust magazine in 1971, which became his first and biggest triumph. In a statement, his family said, “It is with profound sadness that we share the news of his demise. He was a pioneer of print media, an unparalleled family man and father. We are heartbroken that he is leaving us.” Prominent personalities from journalism and advertising, including Shobhaa De and Khalid Mohamed, have expressed their tributes and heartfelt condolences. Meg Bennett, writer of ABC’s General Hospital, dies at age 75.

My first job was at #Cineblitz which is in direct competition with his #Stardust. Nevertheless, the respect for Nari Hira was obvious and credible.
