Hooda's haunting transformation and emotionally charged performance garnered widespread acclaim, with many commending his physical commitment and his skill in depicting Sarabjit's pain and resilience. Randeep took to social media today to share a note in remembrance of Sarabjit Singh.

Randeep Hooda, who is currently embracing fatherhood, shared a touching tribute to Sarabjit Singh, reflecting on how playing the role profoundly impacted him, extending far beyond the scope of a typical film. He expressed that Sarabjit's narrative offered him invaluable lessons on enduring pain, finding courage, understanding loss, and appreciating the essence of freedom. Hooda also extended his respects to Dalbir Kaur and Sukhpreet, acknowledging their steadfast strength throughout their ordeal.

His note read, "Dear Sarabjit, Your story changed me. What began as preparing for a film, became something much deeper. Through you, I felt pain, silence, courage, and hope. Being you taught me the true meaning of freedom, loss, and the strength of a family that never stopped believing. Since then, we have also lost, the sister who fought for you with the world, Dalbir Kaur ji and your wife, Sukhpreet ji. But your legacy lives on through your wonderful daughters, Swapandeep and Poonam, who today have families of their own and are living full, settled lives. In that, perhaps, there is a quiet kind of peace, something every family that has endured pain deserves."

Hooda further added, "Years have passed, but your story still stays with me. Some characters leave when the film ends. You never did. Remembering you today with respect and a heavy heart. You will never be forgotten. Om Shanti."

The actor shared his tribute on X, formerly known as Twitter, marking the occasion with Sarabjit's date of demise in the caption. It read, "02.05.2013. Sarabjit Singh | Sarabjit | Death Anniversary."

Despite Sarabjit not achieving significant box office success, both Randeep Hooda and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan received widespread acclaim from audiences and critics for their performances. On a personal note, Randeep recently became a father, welcoming a daughter named Nyomica with his wife, Lin Laishram.
