As a young man, Harbhajan had a love for sports and eagerly participated in a variety of activities.

In 1992, the family faced an unimaginable loss when their beloved son Bali passed away at the tender age of 19. This heartache brought challenge, but their strength, unity, and unwavering love for each other carried them through the darkest of times.

In 1998, they embarked on a new journey, immigrating to Canada with their family to start a fresh chapter in a new country. With courage and determination, they worked tirelessly to rebuild their lives, creating a foundation of hope and opportunity for the next generation.

With endless love, patience, and devotion, she cared for him through every stage of his illness, ensuring he was surrounded by comfort and compassion. Her tireless dedication was a true reflection of their bond and lifelong partnership, a partnership that endured even in the face of adversity.
