Bollywood actress turned politician Kirron Kher’s father Col. Thakur Singh passed away on Tuesday morning after a brief illness. Singh breathed his last at their residence in Chandigahr.
The news was announced by Kirrom’s husband veteran actor Anupam Kher, who took it to micro-blogging site Twitter to pay respect to his father-in-law.
Anupam, while sharing the news of Col. Thakur Singh’s demise, wrote that he was one of the kindest person Kher has ever met.
The actor also shared two pics of himself and wife Kirron with her father.
Singh had retired from Army Service Corps (ASC) in 1968. Earlier in May this year, Anupam had shared a picture with his father-in-law saying, “It is always wonderful to meet and hug Kirron Kher’s 102 years old father Col. Thakar Singh. He makes us happy”.
The last rites of Kirron’s father will take place today at Sector 25 cremation ground. Thakur Singh is survived by three daughters including Kirron. His son had earlier died in a road accident in 2003.
