On the occasion of what would have been Sidhu Moosewala’s 30th birthday, fans and fellow artists reflect on the life and legacy of the influential Punjabi singer. Born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu on June 11, 1993, in Moosa village, Mansa district, Sidhu Moosewala’s rise to fame was marked by his distinctive style and provocative lyrics. Despite his success, Moosewala was often embroiled in controversies, many of which he claimed were fabricated.
During an emotional interview with Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa on the TV show “Dil Diyan Gallan,” Moosewala revealed that about 90% of the controversies surrounding him were not real.
He expressed his frustration over being portrayed as a “really horrible guy,” insisting that much of the negative attention stemmed from people within his circle who sought to tarnish his reputation.
