Sidhu Moosewala’s father reveals his newborn was conceived abroad, claims he hasn’t violated the ART act
Sidhu Moosewala’s father Balkaur Singh has opened up about the allegations of violating the ART act after he and his wife became parents after the prescribed age of 50. Scroll to read what they said.
Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was a global sensation. Born as Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, Sidhu was assassinated on May 29, 2022. Nearly two years after his death, the singer’s parents Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur welcomed another child and named him exactly after the dead singer ‘Shubhdeep’. Where there was happiness inside the family, the government had a lot of questions.
What was the controversy around the birth of Sidhu Moosewala’s brother?
For the unversed, under Section 21(g)(i) of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, the age limit prescribed for a woman going under ART Services is between 21-50 years. Moosewala’s mother however was 57 when she conceived her second child. This matter immediately escalated after the center had asked the Punjab government to submit a response in this case.
Balkaur Singh reacts to claims of violating the ART act
Recently while speaking to Indian Express, the 58-year-old shared that the baby was conceived abroad via in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). He detailed, “There was no violation since our baby was conceived abroad. After we returned to India, we informed the local health authorities about the pregnancy too.”
Balkaur claimed that even Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s mother congratulated the couple over the telephone. Singer Gurdas Maan had also visited them after Shubh’s birth when he even placed his own gold chain at the child’s feet. Singh went on to share that while the success rate of IVF was quite low after the age of 50, they successfully succeeded in their first attempt.
He detailed, “We just wanted to become parents again, irrespective of the gender. Our doctors from abroad would send us lists of tests over WhatsApp and we would get them done in Bathinda.”
Did you know Sidhu Moosewala’s mother had problems during her second child’s pregnancy?
Balkaur in the same interview revealed that it was very tough for Charan Kaur as she had to take several injections every day. Recalling an incident that was his biggest nightmare, he shared, “She started bleeding profusely late at night. My heart was in my mouth as I rushed her to a private hospital in Bathinda. Had something happened to her that day, I would have lost everything.”
Sidhu Moosewala’s brother’s childhood won’t be the same as him
Balkaur Singh admitted that Little Shubh wouldn’t be able to have a normal childhood like the way Sidhu had. “He will always be under public gaze, and won’t be able to roam in fields and go to school in a van”, Singh said while acknowledging that the baby will also be targeted by his enemies.
Balkar Singh however promised to give the baby as much as freedom Moosewala received when he confronted to pursue singing. “Maybe he will get more success in life, but it is not easy to be Sidhu Moosewala”, Balkaur concluded.
