“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’,” Dalbir Kaur said at an event which was organised to remember Sarabjit on his third death anniversary.

“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. When I had come on the first day, he was given a shot in a small room. I actually felt that my ‘sher’ is sitting in that room.

I messaged him that he lives for thousands of years and doesn’t get the evil eye of anyone,” Dalbir said. ‘Sarbjit’ is a biopic on Sarabjit Singh, an Indian farmer who was convicted of terrorism and spying in Pakistan and was sentenced to death. ‘Sarbjit’ is slated for a May 20 release.
