Gurpanth Maan, the younger brother of legendary Punjabi singer and actor Gurdas Maan, passed away at the age of 68. He had been undergoing treatment at a multi-specialty hospital in Mohali for the past two months. Gurpanth is survived by his wife and two children, who currently reside abroad.

The second of three siblings, Gurpanth Maan was the brother of Gurdas Maan and their sister.
