Randeep Hooda mourns demise of Sarabjit Singh’s sister Dalbir Kaur with an emotional note

Dalbir Kaur, sister to Sarabjit Singh, passed away in Bhikhiwind near Amritsar, Punjab, on Sunday, June 26. Randeep Hooda who played the role of Sarabjit in 2016 film Sarbjit performed the last rites of Dalbir Kaur. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played Dalbir’s character in the movie. As soon as Randeep heard the news, he left for her native village to pay his last respects and also lit the pyre during the last rites.

He also penned an emotional note for Dalbir mourning her demise. He shared a throwback pic with her and wrote that he admired Dalbir’s “fighter, childlike and sharp” personality. He further wrote, “She fought a system, a country, it’s people and her own to try save her beloved brother Sarbjit. I was so fortunate to have her love and blessings and never to be missed Rakhi in this lifetime”.

“Not in the wildest dream could one imagine that Dalbir Kaur ji would leave us so soon. A fighter, child like, sharp and devoted to all that she touched. She fought a system, a country, it’s people and her own to try save her beloved brother Sarbjit. I was so fortunate to have her love and blessings and never to be missed Rakhi in this life time. Ironically, the last time we met was when I was shooting in thr fields of Punjabi where we had created an Indo-Pak border. It was a chilly and foggy late November night but she didn’t care about all that. She was happy we were on the same side of the border. ‘Khush reh, jug jug jeeye’, she often ended most conversations with. I do feel truly blessed indeed. There wasn’t enough time Dalbir ji. I love you, I miss you and I shall always cherish your love and blessings. Om Shanti,” he added.
