The rumor spread rapidly on social media that his grandmother had passed away after the World Cup final, but Amanjot himself came forward and called all these news completely false. He appealed to his fans not to believe such wrong information.

The family had hidden the truth

After India’s victory, Amanjot’s father Bhupinder Singh said that it was a difficult time for the family during the tournament. He said, “My mother Bhagwanti ji had a heart attack, but we did not tell this to Amanjot so that he could concentrate on his game.”

Amanjeet Kaur’s befitting reply

Thanks to all those who expressed concern.” He further wrote, “My 90s kid grandmother is absolutely fit and fine.”
