Milkha Singh aka India’s ‘Flying Sikh’ has been an inspiration for every individual in this country. The way he has represented the country at a global level to become a champion sportsperson is truly admirable and we love every bit of it.
Unfortunately, the legend passed away yesterday night after a long battle with Covid-19 complications at the age of 91, and ever since then, the entire country has been mourning. A lot of celebrities too namely Farhan Akhtar, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Sonu Sood, Sourav Ganguly & Virender Sehwag expressed their grief on social media. Check out what they said below –

The Flying Sikh may no longer be with us in person but his presence will always be felt and his legacy will remain unmatched… An inspiration to me… an inspiration to millions. Rest in Peace Milkha Singh sir.
