Pritam Singh Announces the Arrival of Baby Girl #2
When the unexpected happened, 42‑year‑old Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh had a Wild Ride — and many more cute moments to come.
What went down
- Two weeks ago, at a routine scan, the mood was all sunshine, who’s ready to chill in JB after Tahai?.
- Then that scan told a different story: baby’s heart was beating, but “in distress”. Suddenly Emergency Caesarean Time.
- Pritam found himself clutching a hospital‑corner as his wife, Ms Lovleen Kaur Walia, went under the knife for a swift 45‑minute operation.
The “PRAY-ly” moment
Normally, he says, he’s all about living in the present; crying less often. But in that moment, when fear clamped the heart a bit too tight, he said, “I prayed.” He found comfort in that prayer trick when panic rolled in. Imagine a politician-themed Superpower: get through life’s curveballs.
Good news flicker
Thankfully, both mom and baby have come out of surgery older than expected. Mother and daughter were discharged from the hospital on Aug 6. It’s “a wonderful feeling,” Singh said when he finally wrapped the hospital beds in lights and went home.
Home moves & reflections
- The house is not fully ready yet — “a bit of work for me” — he quipped.
- Now, he feels proud of his wife, a “wonder woman” who survived the ordeal, and proud father again, two beautiful girls.
Post‑celebration shoutout
Yesterday, on August 17, he posted a small, heartfelt announcement on Facebook: “I’m a proud husband and father again. The adventure gets easier when the little ones come along.” He wrapped his emotions in like‑a‑birthday‑cake‑cake fun, telling readers he is in a new philanthropic chapter as host a baby‑kick‑off.
