EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal announces death of mum

Taking to her Instagram page on Saturday (March 30), Balvinder shared the devastating news that her mum had sadly died back in February.

Sharing a series of photos of her mum smiling and happy throughout her life, Balvinder captioned the post: “27th February 2024, 11.30pm, mum passed peacefully, with dignity & grace, just as she’d lived her whole life. My sister & I had settled in for the night shift at the hospital. The lads had come, spent the day, & just as the last of them left… mum passed, with me & my sister holding her hands. We walked mum as far as we could. It’s been hard, but I’ve never known strength like mum’s. I’m proud to be her daughter.

 

“As we told people, the one thing constant in people’s memory was mum’s huge warm smile, her ability to adapt to change & show love & respect to all. Our home was always open; a shelter from the rain whilst waiting for the bus. For pronthey & chaa. For all the children to come & chill after school. There was always food. Our home was busy, warm, & full of love because of mum.”

Going on to explain her mum’s successes and much-loved, inspirational qualities, Balvinder continued: “A fierce supporter of all of her kids & grandkids, mum’s unique ability to get through to us was second to none. She was our rock, friend, confidant, guiding light. She was my No.1 fan travelling up & down the country, with dad, watching shows. Mum was an extraordinary teacher of life just by being & doing everything with love.

“LOVE is mum’s legacy. We are the lucky ones. Rest well. Thank U, Mum. Nirmal Sopal 13/07/51 – 27/02/24.”
