Though 2020's lockdown came across as a tough period for the world, some of them had their own silver lining. Celebrity couples got some time to spend together and made the most of the opportunity to start a family. After Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anushka Sharma, Anita Hassanandani and others, playback singer Harshdeep Kaur is expecting her first child with her husband, Mankeet Singh. Harshdeep, who is known for chartbuster songs like Dilbaro, Zaalima, Heer and several others, is in her final trimester. 

Talking to a leading daily, Harshdeep said, "Yes, I am in my final trimester and just a month away from my delivery. My husband Mankeet and I are very private people. Last year, due to the entire COVID-19 crisis, there was very limited scope and opportunity to socialise. So, we ended up being quite guarded about the pregnancy because of the circumstances. We have no reason to be secretive about news like this. We just didn’t make an official announcement. But, I’m happy to confirm that yes, there’s a baby on the way and we couldn’t be happier!"

Harshdeep and Mankeet are married for five years now. Speaking about Harshdeep's pregnancy, Mankeet said, "We have been married for five years. When COVID-19 and the lockdown struck last year, it presented us with the time to plan our family."

"Despite all the challenges that the world was and is still encountering, this was our silver lining. I am particularly happy that she got to rest and stay at home all through her pregnancy, given our hectic travel schedules through the year. We haven’t shared this amazing news publicly, which is why this might come as a surprise to many," he added.
