Asian Games gold-medallist boxer Dinko Singh died of liver cancer on Thursday at the age of 42. He was undergoing treatment for cancer since 2017. The sports fraternity and Bollywood celebrities paid tribute to the late hero through social media posts and offered their condolences to the family.
Taking to Twitter, Shahid Kapoor wrote, “Padma Shri Dingko Singh was one of the finest boxers, an award-winning sportsperson who’s brought glory to our nation several times. He will always remain a source of inspiration for the young generations. My sincere condolences to his dear ones. May his soul rest in peace.”
In 2019, Shahid Kapoor had told in an interview that he has the rights to make a film on Dinko Singh. However, the project never materialised. “I have the rights for Dingko Singh. It’s a film I really want to make, and I’ll make it. But I don’t know what I’m doing next,” he had said.
Talking about Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming film, he will be seen in the ‘Jersey’ cricket-based film. Apart from this, he is also going to debut with the web series of Raj and DK.
