Mumbai:

The parents of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala have shared a video of their youngest child Shubhdeep. In the video, Shubhdeep appears wearing a turban.

Sidhu Moose Wala’s father, Balkaur Singh and his wife, Charan Kaur welcomed a baby boy in March this year. He was seen feeding milk to the newborn with a spoon. A video uploaded on Instagram showed a team of medical professionals bringing the baby into the world. Balkaur Singh was also seen cutting a cake with a team of doctors in the video.

Earlier, he had announced the arrival of the baby on Instagram. Taking to Instagram and writing in Punjabi, Balkaur Sidhu said: “Thanks to the good wishes of the lakhs and crores of Shubhdeep’s followers and fans, Akal Purakh has sent Shubh’s little brother to our laps. My wife’s health is fine, thanks to the blessings of the Almighty, and we both are beholden to our well-wishers for showering us with their support”.

Moosewala ‘s real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, which explains the reference to Shubhdeep in the announcement. Sunday’s announcement by Balkaur Singh is accompanied by a picture of the proud father with the newborn.

Balkaur Singh, incidentally, broke his silence on his wife Charan Kaur’s pregnancy — she’s 58 and got pregnant via the IVF route — on Facebook just a few days ago. He appealed to the well-wishers of the family to not believe the rumours circulating about the pregnancy.

He pleaded: “There are so many rumours going around about our family, but they are not to be believed. Whatever news is there, the family will share with you all”. The rapper was shot dead by six assailants on May 29, 2022, a day after his security cover was pared down, at Jawahar Ke village in Punjab’s Mansa district.

Chandigarh:

Sidhu Moose Wala’s parents have been blessed with a son, nearly two years after the Punjabi singer was shot dead. Making the announcement on Instagram, his father Balkaur Singh, 60, said the family is healthy. He also shared a photo with his newborn and a portrait of the singer.

“With the blessings of millions of souls who love Shubdeep, the Almighty has put Shubh’s younger brother in our group. With the blessings of Wahe Guru, the family is healthy and thankful to all the well-wishers for their immense love,” the caption read.

The singer’s mother, Charan Kaur, had conceived through the In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technique, her brother-in-law Chamkaur Singh had said earlier this year.

Singer-turned-politician Sidhu Moose Wala was 28 when he was shot dead in Punjab’s Mansa district on May 29, 2022.

He and two of his friends were driving to a village in Punjab when their SUV was sprayed with bullets. Moose Wala, then the only child of his parents, was found slumped on his seat, bleeding profusely. He was declared dead when he was taken to a hospital.

Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, a wanted criminal, had claimed responsibility for the murder in a Facebook post.
