‘I was so fortunate to have her love and blessings’: Randeep Hooda pens emotional note after performing last rites of Sarabjit Singh's sister Dalbir Kaur

Keeping his promise that he had made to Sarabjit Singh's sister Dalbir Kaur during the shooting of Sarabjit, Bollywood star Randeep Hooda performed her last rites. Kaur died due to a heart attack on Sunday in Bhikhiwind near Amritsar, Punjab.

On Monday, Hooda paid an emotional tribute to Dalbir Kaur. He said he admired Dalbir’s “fighter, childlike and sharp” personality. “She fought a system, a country, its 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,” he wrote. The actor also reminisced the time when Dalbir stayed with him during his film’s shoot in Punjab.

“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, its 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. Ironically, the last time we met was when I was shooting in the 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,” the note read.
