Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh tweeted a video of his conversation with 5-year-old Noorpreet Kaur, the young TikTok sensation who wanted to send him a ‘rakhi’ on Raksha Bandhan.
Amarinder Singh said in a tweet accompanying the video: “Spoke to our little star Noor on Raksha Bandhan. Happy to share that she is doing fine and am sure she and her father will beat COVID-19 soon. Already looking forward to meeting you. God Bless”.
The 5-year-old who became a TikTok star during the lockdown period with over 1.5 million followers wanted to tie ‘rakhi’ to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, but tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday when she underwent testing made mandatory for those who wanted an appointment with the chief minister.
Her father Satnam Singh, a labourer at a brick-kiln, also tested positive for the virus along a person who is believed to be part of Noor’s TikTok team.
