Sada Kaur was married to the 7-year-old Gurbaksh Singh, the eldest son and heir of Jai Singh, the head of the Sandhu Jat ruler of Kanhaiya Misl.
Sada Kaur then assumed the leadership of the Kanhaiya Misl as well as the loyalty of its 8,000 cavalrymen.
Sada Kaur used both Kanheya and Sukerchakia misals to push Ranjit forward.
Sada Kaur advised Ranjit that whoever controls Lahore controls Punjab.
Ranjit entered the city through Lohari Gate and Sada Kaur entered through Delhi Gate.
Sada Kaur made Ranjit Singh the King of Lahore in 1801.
Sada Kaur did not approve of it, but choose to move beyond it as she had set her heart on greater and better things and was resolved to see that for her own particular purpose and the purpose of her exclusive tyke, Ranjit Singh do the arrangements that she had set for him.
Sada Kaur retained the majority of her estates until 1820.
In 1821, Ranjit Singh imprisoned Sada Kaur and confiscated her possessions.
