She fought a system, a country, its people and her own to try save her beloved brother Sarbjit. I was so fortunate to have her love and blessings and never to be missed Rakhi in this life time.”

It was a chilly and foggy late November night but she didn’t care about all that. She was happy we were on the same side of the border. ‘Khush raho, jai jai jai’ she ended most conversations with. I do feel truly blessed indeed. There just wasn’t enough time Dalbir Ji.”
“I love you, I miss you and I shall always cherish your love and blessings.” He concluded the note on Om Shanti with folded hands emoji. Randeep received praises for his intense character of the late Sarabjit in the 2016 biographical drama.
