Earlier, reports had claimed that Sidhu Moosewala’s mother, Charan Kaur was pregnant and will be delivering the baby in March. Moosewala was the only child of his parents, who are in their late 50s now. Citing sources, The Indian Express has reported that Mossewala’s parents used In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and had travelled overseas for the procedure last year.
Just four days back, it looked like Balkaur Singh had denied the pregnancy speculations and had written on Facebook, “We are grateful to Sidhu’s well-wishers who are concerned about our family. But we request you not to believe the many rumors being circulated about the family. Any news will be shared by the family with all of you.”
