Touched by Randeep's performance in the film, Dalbir saw her brother in the actor. Both Randeep and Dalbir shared a great bond together.

The actor accepted it and made sure to be present at the funeral today. He did as he promised where he not just gave , ‘kandha’ to her but also also lit the pyre.
Here are some of the pictures from Dalbir's last rites:
Dalbir Kaur fought for her brother Sarabjit Singh till the end and promised that she will continue to prove to the world that Sarabjit was an innocent man.

Aishwarya Rai essayed the character of the brave and relentless Dalbir Kaur to utmost perfection. 'Sarbjit' also starred Richa Chadda and Darshan Kumar in supporting roles.
