Actor Jimmy Sheirgill, known for his understated charm and powerful performances, recently shared an emotional note in memory of his late father, Satyajit Singh Shergill. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Jimmy posted a touching black-and-white photo of his father, captioning it simply yet poignantly: “It’s been a month… we miss you, Dad.” The heartfelt post resonated deeply with fans and colleagues, many of whom expressed their condolences and support in the comments.
Satyajit Singh Shergill passed away on October 11, 2025, at the age of 90. Coming from a Sikh family rooted in Punjab, Jimmy has often spoken about the strong influence of his family’s values and traditions on his life and career. His father’s passing marks the end of an era for the Shergill household — one built on discipline, humility, and deep cultural pride.
Born on December 3, 1970, Jimmy Sheirgill belongs to a Punjabi Sikh aristocratic family with a rich artistic legacy. His paternal great-aunt was Amrita Sher-Gil, one of India’s most celebrated painters of Hungarian-Jewish descent. This artistic lineage perhaps explains Jimmy’s quiet depth as an actor — a performer who lets emotion speak louder than words.
Beyond his professional life, Jimmy is a devoted family man. He married his long-time girlfriend, Priyanka Puri, in 2001, and the couple has a son named Veer. In a small but personal decision, he once altered the spelling of his surname from “Shergill” to “Sheirgill” for social media purposes, showing both practicality and a touch of individuality.
Jimmy’s tribute to his father is more than just a post — it’s a reminder that no matter how public a life may seem, grief remains deeply personal. His simple message carries a universal truth: love and loss are threads that bind us all, and remembering those we’ve lost keeps their presence alive in the quiet corners of our hearts.
