Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda took to his social media account and reminisced the life of the Indian civilian Sarabjit Singh who was allegedly convicted of terrorism and spying by a Pakistani court. A biopic titled Sarbjit was made on the life of Sarabjit in 2016 where Hooda played the role of this man who was sentenced to death even though there was no evidence that pronounced him guilty.

On the occasion of the anniversary of Sarabjit's martyrdom, Randeep Hooda shared a still from the film Sarbjit and captioned it by claiming that there is a burden of injustice on the page of history that Sarabjit belonged too. He wrote, "Some pages of history wear thin because of the incredible burden of injustice they carry. On Sarbjit's martyrdom anniversary, remembering the dawn that we all are waiting for! #Sarbjit #Peace 🙏🏽 #DalbirKaur".
