Sidhu, along with being a music icon, was also an advocate for raising cancer awareness and prevention.

He also appealed to all the residents of the area to reach the camp.
Balkaur Singh posted the announcement on social media with the caption, "Shubhdeep was very worried about the cancer spreading in Punjab. To make the people of his area aware about it, get check-up and get timely treatment, he started every day in the name of his grandmother." Cancer check-up camp was started in 2015. Continuing the same series, a cancer check-up camp is being organized for all the villagers and residents of Mansa on the birthday of Shubdeep. We appeal to reach the camp so that we can save our villages from cancer."
