Nimrat Kaur Honors Her Father's Legacy on His 73rd Birth Anniversary

A Heartfelt Tribute to Major Bhupender Singh

Actress Nimrat Kaur recently commemorated her father, Major Bhupender Singh, by visiting his memorial in Kashmir on what would have been his 73rd birthday. A year prior, his life story was celebrated at his birthplace in Rajasthan, and within this year, a new memorial was unveiled in Kashmir, the site of his martyrdom. Major Singh was posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra for his bravery in combat against militants on January 23, 1994.

In a touching post on social media, Nimrat reflected on the significance of the day, stating, “A year ago today, on Papa’s birth anniversary, his life’s journey was immortalised at his birthplace, Mohanpura, Rajasthan by the Indian Army in recognition of his service to the nation. What we didn’t know then was that within a year, we would witness a further cementing of that dream on the soil where he was martyred.”

She continued, “Mamma and I had the honour of visiting both his memorial in Beacon in Srinagar Cantonment and the first glimpse of the Kashmir valley after Banihal Tunnel dedicated to him called Titanic View Point on NH 44, where Papa last served as an officer and where we spent our last days together as a family.”

Nimrat expressed her gratitude to the Border Roads Organization for their dedication in bringing the memorial to fruition, stating, “The transcendent quality of this entire experience, seeing his form and name immortalised is something words can never accurately describe.” Reflecting on her father's legacy, she wrote, “Papa’s sacrifice left behind a lifelong legacy of goodwill for our family. A slogan he lived and died by comes to mind, Agrani Ajay — a true Bengal Sapper’s war cry. Happy birthday, Papa…”

Through her heartfelt words and shared memories, Nimrat Kaur not only honored her father's legacy but also paid a touching tribute to his memory.
