He expressed regret over her passing and recalled fulfilling her final wish to light her funeral pyre. He mentioned that he wished he had more time with her, as she was a remarkable woman who took good care of Sarabjit’s children, who are now well-settled. He also noted that the movie had a profound impact on real-life events.
