While posting the images, the actor stated, “Today marks 10 years since we lost Sarabjit Singh; the struggles and hardships you underwent can never be forgotten. I am so thankful to have met Dalbir ji, a strong woman who battled the system on behalf of her brother, and feel quite privileged to have known her. I will always treasure the love she gave me. #Sarbjit.”
