Mumbai, Nov 9 (NationPress) On the occasion of Remembrance Sunday, esteemed actor Kabir Bedi paid homage to his maternal grandfather, who tragically lost his life in France during World War I.

In a heartfelt social media post, Bedi recognized not only his grandfather’s sacrifice but also celebrated the courage of the four million Indian soldiers who valiantly fought in World War I and II as members of the British Indian Army. On this special Sunday, Kabir Bedi shared a striking image of himself portraying Major Hari Singh in the upcoming Canadian film “Promises”, which honors the Indian soldiers who served in the World Wars. He emphasized that the film is a tribute to their legacy and will be available soon.

The 79-year-old star wrote, “On this Remembrance Sunday, I salute the bravery of the 4 million Indian soldiers who fought in World War I and II as part of the British Indian Army. Above, a photograph of me as Major Hari Singh in Steve Purewal’s Promises, a Canadian film dedicated to their memory, to be released soon. Remembering all the fallen and injured - Lest we forget.”

“I also honor my maternal grandfather Frank Houlston, who died in the fields of France during World War I, when my mother Freda Bedi was only 7 years old. His passing deeply affected her, prompting a profound quest for meaning that ultimately led her to become a Buddhist. By the time she passed away, she had achieved the rank of the highest Buddhist nun in the world. #remembrancesunday #lestweforget #sacrifice #ww2 #ww1 #legacy #Promises,” Bedi shared.

The Canadian short film “Promises” will showcase Kabir Bedi as Havildar Hari Singh, a soldier from World War II. This film pays tribute to the Sikh soldiers who fought alongside Canadian forces during the war, and it premiered in April 2025 during the Sikh Heritage Month celebrations in Surrey, British Columbia.
