Kirron Kher's father Thakur Singh passes away

Mumbai: Veteran actress and BJP MP Kirron Kher's father Thakur Singh breathed his last on Tuesday morning, her husband Anupam Kher has said. He was over 100 years old.

Anupam shared the news on Twitter.

"Col. Thakur Singh, Kirron Ji's father departed for a better world this morning. He was one of the kindest persons I have ever met. Will miss him," Anupam tweeted.
