Mumbai, March 17 (IANS): The late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's father, Balkaur Singh, who welcomed a baby boy with his wife Charan Kaur, was seen feeding milk to the newborn with a spoon.

A video uploaded on Instagram shows a team of medical professionals bringing the baby into the world.

Balkaur Singh can also be seen cutting a cake with a team of doctors in the video.

Earlier, on Sunday the slain rapper's father announced the baby’s arrival.

Taking to Instagram, Balkaur shared a picture and in Punjabi wrote: "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.”

Moose Wala'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.
