Former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu has publicly announced how he plans to divide his properties between his children. In a heartfelt social media post, Sidhu revealed that he has decided to distribute his assets during his lifetime after discussions with his wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu.

The announcement has drawn attention for its emotional tone and the clarity with which Sidhu outlined his decision.

Navjot Singh Sidhu took to social media to share a detailed and personal message explaining his decision. He spoke about his beliefs, values, and the importance of keeping promises, particularly the "word of honour" he had once given to the people of Amritsar.

According to Sidhu's announcement, his son Karan Sidhu will inherit the ancestral house in Patiala. The property is located in Yadavindra Colony near Baradari Gardens and holds sentimental value as it was built by Sidhu's father.

Sidhu confirmed that his daughter Rabia Sidhu will inherit the house in Amritsar. This particular property was built by Sidhu himself, making it a significant personal asset. Sidhu mentioned that the decision was made after a detailed discussion with his wife. The move reflects a planned and thoughtful approach to property distribution within the family. In his post, Sidhu highlighted that all his assets were built through hard work. He clearly stated that he did not use any money from politics to acquire these properties.

Sidhu also spoke about his journey outside politics, mentioning his work in television shows and commentary. He referred to appearances on Bigg Boss and The Kapil Sharma Show, along with his role in Hindi commentary.

The post also included references to spiritual beliefs, with Sidhu mentioning blessings of Mother Parvati and Navratri. This added a deeply personal and emotional layer to his announcement.
