Randeep Hooda fulfills the promise to Dalbir Kaur, sister of Sarabjit Singh, performs her final rituals

Dalbir Kaur, sister of Sarabjit Sing passed away due to a heart attack today. Hearing the news, Randeep Hooda immediately left Mumbai to perform the final rituals. Randeep had played the role of Sarabjit Singh in the biopic. The role of Dalbir was played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the film. 

Touched by the performance in the film, Dalbir saw her brother in Randeep. Both Randeep and Dalbir shared a great bond together. The relationship between this brother and sister was so pure that Dalbir had asked Randeep to give ‘kandha’ when she dies ( offer his shoulder before taking the body to the cremation.)

The actor accepted it and made sure to be present at the funeral today. He did as he promised where he not just gave, ‘kandha’ to her but also lit the pyre. Indeed it’s a moment that will take a while to digest and accept that Dalbir Kaur is no more. We pay our condolences and prayers to her near and dear ones.
