Nimrat Kaur Commemorates Father Major Bhupender Singh On His 31st Death Anniversary With Heartfelt Tribute

Nimrat Kaur, a renowned figure in Indian cinema, recently honoured her father, Late Major Bhupender Singh SC, on the 31st anniversary of his passing. Major Singh was tragically kidnapped on January 17 and killed by terrorists on January 23, 1994. Nimrat shared that her father's bravery was recognised with the Shaurya Chakra, awarded posthumously at Rashtrapati Bhavan on March 13, which is also her birthday.

Reflecting on her father's legacy, Nimrat expressed pride in his achievements. Despite starting from modest beginnings, he educated himself in his village and later graduated from Jodhpur University with a scholarship. He joined the Indian Army through the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun, where he earned the Sword of Honour and was commissioned into the 64 Engineer Regiment, Bengal Sappers.

In 2024, on Major Singh's birth anniversary, Nimrat Kaur and her family unveiled a memorial to honour him and twelve other soldiers who died serving their country. The memorial is located in Mohanpura, Ganganagar, his birthplace. A chowk there is named 'Major Bhupender Singh Chowk' in his memory.

Nimrat has often spoken about how deeply her father influenced her life and values. She shared images from the memorial's inauguration with a touching caption: "A dream my family and I dreamt of 30 years ago since we lost him in Jammu and Kashmir in 1994, finally came true."

Over time, Nimrat has consistently highlighted the impact of her father's teachings on her life. His journey from humble beginnings to becoming an esteemed officer serves as an inspiration to many. The family's efforts to commemorate his sacrifice reflect their enduring respect and admiration for him.
