Our little pumpkin will be arriving to our patch in November #babyontheway”.“I have been MIA (Missing in Action) around here recently because we are pregnant!” said mother-to-be Illi in response to the post. In November, our tiny pumpkin will arrive at our patch #babyontheway.”


This year, the couple will mark their first wedding anniversary on December 17th. After an eight-year relationship, they tied the knot in a Jalandhar gurdwara.

Manpreet's family has given Illi, who has Pakistani ancestors, the Punjabi name Navpreet Kaur after their wedding.


Manpreet, who is from the now-famous town of Mithapur, has been in Jalandhar spending time with his family, friends, and meeting new people since bringing glory to India as the skipper of the Indian hockey team by earning bronze at the Tokyo Olympics in August this year. When he came home to a hero's welcome, his wife was not present. She had indeed communicated with the media through video conference from Malaysia.
