“Big moment for times square,” wrote a fan, reacting to the video. Another fan wrote, “Born star …..Pride of Punjab.” One fan proclaimed that the ‘legend is back’ while another called the baby boy ‘lucky’. Numerous fans left heart emojis under the video, with some speculating how much the space at Times Square must’ve cost the fan who paid Sidhu tribute.

Sidhu’s newborn brother

Balkaur and Charan welcomed a baby boy two years after their son Sidhu’s passing. Earlier this week, Balkaur took to Instagram to share a picture of his newborn son, with Sidhu’s photo reading ‘legends never die’. He also shared a video, thanking the hospital for their care. The video shows Balkaur and Charan getting emotional about their newborn. Balkaur cut and distributed a cake to celebrate the occasion.

In a video message posted on X and Instagram, Balkaur alleged that the Punjab government was questioning the family over the ‘legality’ of the child after it was reported that Shubhdeep was born by IVF. Balkaur also stated that he will ‘provide all the legal documents’ for the child to the government.
