Amar Singh Chamkila’s first wife Gurmail Kaur had attended the screening of Imtiaz Ali's film starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra.

Late Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila’s story has become a talking point after the release of his biopic of the same name starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. Chamkila was killed along with his wife Amarjot in Mehsampur, in 1988. Chamkila is survived by his son Jaiman Chamkila, his first wife Gurmail Kaur and his two daughters from his first marriage.

Jaiman Chamkila on his relationship with his sisters
In an interview with Cine Punjabi last year, Chamkila's son Jaiman Chamkila spoke about his connection with his stepsisters. "I am in touch with Chamkila’s first family. I have two sisters from his first wife, Amandeep and Kamaldeep," he shared. "The older is married and has two kids, and Kamal is getting married this year (2023)."

Despite the familial ties, Jaiman noted a certain distance in his relationship with Gurmail. "When I go to meet her, she greets me well but that’s it. From the beginning, it’s been this way. It is not her fault nor ours (the children's) fault," he told Cine Punjabi.

"Sometimes we speak and she would say that if your father was around, we wouldn’t be in such a state. He worked really hard, people’s evil eyes impacted him, and he had too many enemies. I have my sisters as well, we try to share our pain as much as we can,” he told Cine Punjabi. 

Jaimal, raised by his maternal grandparents, organise a mela every year on Chamkila's death anniversary with his sisters in honour of the late Punjabi singer.
