Dalbir Kaur, the brave daughter of India who fought for the justice of his brother Sarabjit Singh for 22 years breathe her last today. A Bollywood movie was also made on Sarabjit Singh where Randeep Hooda essayed the character of Sarabjit. Sarabjit was found innocent. (While drunk, he went into Pakistan where he was categorized as a spy) but was brutally injured by jail inmates which resulted his death and he could not return to India.
During the shoot of the movie Randeep Hooda had made strong ties with Dalbir Kaur who made Randeep as his brother as well. She told Randeep that she sees Sarabjit Singh in him, and requested him to give her ‘kandha’ (offer his shoulder before taking the body to the cremation) when she dies.
Randeep accepted it and immediately left Mumbai for her native village when he heard the news of her death. Dalbir died of a heart attack in Bhikhiwind near Amritsar, Punjab, on Sunday, June 26. Randeep soon arrived in the village to pay his last respects and also lit the pyre during the last rites.
At an event marking three years of her brother’s death, Dalbir had said about Randeep, “I would like to tell Randeep that I have truly seen Sarabjit in him. I have a wish and I would like to take a promise from him that when I die, he should definitely give me ‘kandha’ (shoulder). My soul will receive peace that Sarabjit gave me ‘kandha.’” She had also said, “It was a matter of great joy that I found my brother Randeep. In the film, he is not just a hero, but also my brother.”
