Sardar Singh Suri Remembered on 7th Death Anniversary; Prem Chopra Pays Tribute to Social Icon

THE 7TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY OF SARDAR SINGH SURI - PHILANTHROPIST AND FOUNDER OF THE HISTORIC FOUR BUNGALOW GURUDWARA SAHIB - WAS OBSERVED WITH DEEP DEVOTION: highlighting his remarkable journey from cinema to selfless service. Thousands gathered for day-long bhajan-kirtan, ardas, and a grand langar, celebrating a life dedicated to humanity. Veteran actor Prem Chopra also fondly remembered Suri, acknowledging his early support and contribution to cinema. Suri, who produced the Punjabi film “Aeh Dharti Punjab Di,” made a mark by backing meaningful storytelling and nurturing talent. Directed by Satyajeet Pal, the film featured Prem Chopra, Jabeen Jalil, Nimmi, and Madan Puri, with songs sung by legends Mohammed Rafi and Mahendra Kapoor. Notably, Mohammed Rafi, Prem Chopra, Jabeen Jalil, and Suri himself received awards for the film, marking its cultural impact.

Founded on April 13, 1967, from a modest 10×10 structure, the Gurudwara today stands as a major spiritual and humanitarian center. Suri served as its President for nearly 45 years, shaping it into a symbol of equality, faith, and service.
