Nimrat Kaur Visits Her Father Major Bhupender Singh’s New Memorial in Kashmir a Year After the Inauguration of His Memorial in Rajasthan, Shares Heartwarming Glimpses & Pens a Warm Note on his 73rd Birth Anniversary
Actress Nimrat Kaur recently visited her father, Major Bhupender Singh’s memorial in Kashmir on his 73rd birth anniversary. A year ago, her father’s life journey was immortalised at his birthplace in Rajasthan, and within a year, a new memorial was inaugurated in Kashmir, a location where he was martyred. He was posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra after he laid down his life resisting militants in Kashmir on 23rd January 1994. The actress shared a series of glimpses on her social media handle from her visit and also penned a warm note.
She wrote, “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.”
“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 decicated 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,” she added.
Further, the actress thanked the Border Roads Organization for their efforts from inception to execution, and stated, “The transcendent quality of this entire experience, seeing his form and name immortalised is something words can never accurately describe.” Remembering her father on his 73rd birth anniversary, the actress looked back at his sacrifice and 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 words and shared moments, Nimrat Kaur not only immortalised her father’s legacy but also extended a heartfelt tribute to him.
