Actress Nimrat Kaur on Friday paid an emotional tribute to her late father, Major Bhupender Singh, marking 32 years since his martyrdom while serving the nation. Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a series of rare childhood photographs and penned a deeply moving note remembering her father’s courage, values, and sacrifice.
Calling him a “self-made son of the soil” and a fearless soldier, Nimrat expressed gratitude to the Indian Army and local administration for immortalising his name both in Ganganagar, where he was born, and in the Kashmir Valley, where he attained martyrdom.
‘A Lion-Heart Soldier Who Feared Nothing’
“It’s been 32 years since Papa left us in service of the nation,” Nimrat wrote.
“A self-made son of the soil, a peerless husband and father, and beyond everything, a lion-heart soldier who feared nothing — not even death, we were told, in his final moments.”
She further added,
“Forever grateful to the Indian Army and the administration to have immortalised Papa’s name on the soil he was born in Ganganagar and where he breathed his last in the Kashmir Valley.”
Prayers for Fallen Soldiers
On the solemn occasion, Nimrat said she remembers her father more deeply than ever and offered prayers for every soldier who has laid down their life in the line of duty.
“His sacrifice, courage, values and grit live on in the memories of his brother soldiers and us all,” she wrote, concluding,
“Remembering Papa more today than every other day and praying for every soldier who’s lost their lives in action… Honoured to always be known as Major Bhupender Singh’s daughter.”
