Adnan Sami and Kumar Sanu met on a flight. The singers were travelling from Delhi to Mumbai. Adnan shared a photo of their reunion. He also addressed online criticism. Adnan spoke about his decision to live in India. He said he receives hate from neighbouring country. Kumar Sanu is known as the 'King of Melody'. Both singers have many hit songs.
In a heartwarming moment that thrilled fans of Indian music, two of the industry's most celebrated voices—Adnan Sami and Kumar Sanu—unexpectedly crossed paths on a flight from Delhi to Mumbai.
The surprise reunion between the soulful crooner of Tera Chehra fame and the 'King of Melody' sparked nostalgia, smiles, and a photo that quickly went viral.
Adnan and Kumar were all smiles as they posed for a picture together on a flight. Sharing the photo, Sami wrote, 'I love surprises, especially when it involves people that I adore! After a long time, the wonderful @kumarsanuofficial & I met whilst on the same flight from Delhi to Mumbai! He's always so warm and loving! #adnansami #kumarsanu (sic)."
Take a look at the post here:
Not many are aware that Adnan made India his permanent home back in 2001. Although born in the UK and formerly holding Pakistani and Canadian citizenship, he was officially granted Indian citizenship in 2016. Despite fully embracing India as his home, the celebrated artist admits he's often reminded of his roots and where he 'originally came from.'
In a recent chat with Bollywood Bubble, Tera Chehra singer addressed the online hate he continues to receive—particularly from neighbouring country.

Drawing a striking analogy, he likened the negativity to an unresolved breakup. He explained that, much like an ex-lover who can't accept someone moving on, the criticism stems from emotions that are still rooted in love. 'It's love,' he said, 'and love manifests in many absurd ways.
'
Sami referred to the backlash as a classic case of sour grapes, suggesting that the criticism he faces—especially from neighbouring country—is rooted more in envy than in rational thought.
He emphasized that people often make assumptions about his decision to settle in India without understanding the genuine and valid reasons behind it.
Despite his global success and a long list of hit songs, he revealed that his contributions were never acknowledged by the Pakistani government. He shared that he received no recognition or honours from his home country, suggesting that this lack of appreciation was only a small part of a much larger issue.

, the most meaningful reward has never been awards or official recognition, but the emotional connection he shares with his audience. He believes that love and appreciation are the true nourishment for any artist, regardless of where it comes from. His music, he says, is open to all—without borders or expectations.
Adnan Sami is widely acclaimed for his soulful voice and heartfelt compositions, with evergreen tracks like Lift Kara De, Kabhi To Nazar Milao, and Bhar Do Jholi Meri that still strike a chord with music lovers of all ages.
On the other hand, Kumar Sanu—fondly dubbed the 'King of Melody'—ruled the 90s with his unmistakable romantic vocals. From Tujhe Dekha To and Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai to Chura Ke Dil Mera, his timeless hits continue to define an era of Bollywood music.

'It only applies to me': Martina Navratilova's wife Julia Lemigova calls out Jenn Fessler in explosive Instagram post after podcast drama (Image Via X) A new reality TV battle began July 25, 2025, as Julia Lemigova–a model, the reality cast-member of the Real Housewives of Miami series, and the wife of tennis legend Martina Navratilova, fired back at Jenn Fessler. The drama began because Jenn Fessler made comments about Julia Lemigova's altercation with co-star Guerdy Abraira on the podcast Two T's in a Pod. In the clip, Jenn Fessler claimed Lemigova kept Abraira away from a dinner table during a cruise. Julia Lemigova reacted quickly and sharply. What actually happened during that cruise dinner? Why did Julia feel betrayed? Here's how she set the record straight. What was Julia Lemigova's response to Jenn Fessler Lemigova posted a video on her Instagram Story, showing Fessler's comments, then added her own message: '@jennfessler, let's clear the air, because you yourself say you 'don't remember how it went down exactly.' Night 1 was dinner with Daniel Boulud, you, me & Guerdy. Captain Sandy's dinner? That was night 2, not 1.' She clarified that no cast member had control over dinner seating: 'You know NONE of us had any say over any dinner reservations.' Then came the sharp jab: 'I see why your castmates call you Flip-Flopping Fessler. Loyal one day, shady the next. Sorry you flew all the way to Miami only to be edited out of last night's episode!' Fans instantly picked up on the moment and lauded Julia for being honest while also remaining skeptical about Fessler's sentiments. Why did Julia Lemigova and Guerdy Abraira start fighting on RHOM Season 7 The feud begins in season 7 RHOM, which dropped on June 11, 2025.
