Amritsar, June 27: Randeep Hooda fulfilled a promise he had made to Dalbir Kaur, Sarabjit Singh’s sister, by performing her last rites.
Notably in the 2016 movie Sarbjit, in which Aishwarya Rai played Dalbir Kaur, Randeep Hooda played Sarabjit Singh. A Pakistani court had sentenced Dalbir’s brother to death for alleged acts of terrorism and espionage, and the biographical drama focused on her struggle to bring about justice for him.
When she was dying, she told Randeep that she recognised Sarabjit Singh in him and asked him to give her “kandha” (offer his shoulder) before bringing her body to be cremated.
When he learned of her passing, Randeep accepted it and left Mumbai for her village right away. On Sunday, June 26, Dalbir passed away from a heart attack in Bhikhiwind, Punjab. Randeep quickly made his way to the village to pay his respects and participate in the funeral ceremonies.
Richa Chadha, Darshan Kumaar, and Omung Kumar all starred in the box office hit Sarbjit, which also earned favourable reviews from reviewers. After being attacked by other prisoners at Kot Lakhpat Jail, Sarbjit died in Lahore more than three years ago.
