Jeev’s emotional tribute to father Milkha

Says will need a lifetime of resilience to deal with his passing away

Ace golfer Jeev Milkha Singh paid tribute to his father Milkha Singh, who died of COVID-19 complications last week, saying he would need a lifetime of resilience to deal with the loss of his best friend, guide, and mentor. The 49-year-old Jeev said Father’s Day on Sunday was “another sad reminder of what I’ve lost”. “Dad was much more than my father — he was my best friend, my guide, my mentor,” Jeev, who was in Dubai when Milkha tested positive for COVID-19 and reached here in a couple of days to be with him, said in a tweet.
