Nimrat Kaur recalls on her Father Bhupinder Singh’s gunning down by Terrorists In Kashmir:
The brutal gunning down of civilians in Kashmir’s Pahalgam and the conversation has emerged as talk of the town and the security and terrorism has intensified.
The Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s aggressive moves, India’s strong retaliation, ceasefire announcement and then its violation by Pakistan. Through it all, one constant has stood tall: the courage and resilience of the Indian Armed Forces.
It is in moments like these that we are reminded of the real heroes – and the families behind them.
To cite an example is none other than actress actress Nimrat Kaur daughter of the late Major Bhupender Singh, a brave army officer, martyred in a terrorist attack in Kashmir way back in 1994.
In an old interview Nimrat Kaur recalled on her father and how he was gunned down by terrorists. She said, he (Major Bhupender Singh,) was a young army major, an engineer posted on the border roads of the army in a place called Verinag.”
The actress shared that amidst those days, Kashmir was not considered a family station. So while her father was posted there, Nimrat and her family were living in Patiala. Adding they were on their winter vacation in January 1994 and visiting her father in Kashmir, when the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen kidnapped him from his place of work and after seven days, terminated him.
Sharing the heartbreaking reason behind her father’s assasination, Nimrat revealed that the terrorists had made some “ridiculous demands” – asking for the release of certain individuals – which her father, true to his duty, refused to comply with.
Nimrat Kaur shared, “He (Major Bhupinder Singh) was just 44 when he died. They got the news and flew back with his body to Delhi and she saw his body for the first time only in Delhi. They then moved to Noida and lived with her nana-nani for a few months before her mother bought her own place (with her father’s pension money and their savings) and we moved out.
The actress also shared that after her father’s martyrdom, the government allotted a piece of land to her family in Rajasthan. As a tribute to his bravery, Major Bhupender Singh was posthumously honoured with the Shaurya Chakra – one of India’s highest gallantry awards.
On the work front, Nimrat Kaur was last seen Sky Force, directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur. The movie also featured Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya and Sara Ali Khan in pivotal roles.
