Posting on May 2, 2026, Hooda captioned it with a simple reference: “02.05.2013. Sarabjit Singh | Sarabjit | Death Anniversary” before sharing a long emotional note that read like a personal letter. In it, he wrote, “Dear Sarabjit, Your story changed me. What began as preparing for a film, became something much deeper. Through you, I felt pain, silence, courage, and hope. Being you taught me the true meaning of freedom, loss, and the strength of a family that never stopped believing.”
The actor went on to acknowledge the real-life tragedy surrounding Sarabjit Singh’s life and aftermath. He mentioned the passing of Sarabjit’s sister Dalbir Kaur and wife Sukhpreet, while also noting a quieter sense of closure through his daughters Swapandeep and Poonam, who are now settled with families of their own. His words carried a tone of reflection rather than drama, focusing on endurance, memory, and healing.
He added, “Years have passed, but your story still stays with me. Some characters leave when the film ends. You never did. Remembering you today with respect and a heavy heart. You will never be forgotten. Om Shanti.” The closing line left fans emotional, with many praising the sincerity and depth of his tribute.
The story of Sarabjit Singh remains one of the most tragic and widely discussed cross-border cases in recent history. He was imprisoned in Pakistan on charges of espionage and died in 2013 following a violent attack in jail. His life, struggles, and family’s long fight for justice later became the subject of the film starring Hooda in the lead role.
What stands out in Hooda’s note is how the boundaries between actor and character seem to blur even years after the film’s release. Instead of a routine remembrance post, it reads like a long-standing emotional connection that has stayed with him far beyond the screen.
As the tribute circulates online, fans are calling it one of his most heartfelt posts in recent times—less about performance, and more about humanity, memory, and the lasting weight of real stories told through cinema.
