PTC Web Desk: More than two years have passed since the tragic death of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, yet his fans continue to keep his memory alive. On Thursday evening, a post appeared on Sidhu Moosewala’s social media page that stirred deep emotions among his followers. The image did not feature the beloved singer himself, but instead, it showed his father, Balkaur Singh, and mother, Charan Kaur, holding Sidhu’s younger brother. What made the picture extraordinary was that the little one wore a turban, just like Sidhu used to.
Within just an hour, the heartfelt post amassed nearly 1.45 million likes, a testament to how cherished Sidhu Moosewala remains. As the image spread across social media, the singer's name began to trend once more, reaching the sixth spot on X (formerly Twitter). Alongside the photo was a moving message that read:“There is a special depth in the eyes that understands every truth of our life. Beyond the innocence of the face and words, there is a priceless glow that always makes us feel that the face we tearfully entrusted to Akal Purakh is now being seen again, blessed by Akal Purakh’s grace and the prayers of all nears and dear once. We will forever remain indebted for this immense blessing from Waheguru.”
