Adnan Sami's Doctor Told His Parents They'd Find Him Dead In 6 Months: 'It Was A Shock'
Last Updated: Adnan Sami opens up on losing 120 kg naturally after a powerful message from his father and a doctor's At the height of his musical success, singer Adnan Sami was silently fighting a life-threatening health battle. Weighing 230 kgs, he was at serious risk—but didn't take it seriously until a powerful conversation with his father became the wake-up call he needed. In a recent chat with India TV, Adnan opened up about his past struggles and how he turned his life around. Despite his weight causing severe discomfort and health issues, Adnan Sami admitted he wasn't initially worried. Recalling a moment at the doctor's clinic, he said, 'Doctors told me that my results are on the borderline. They said, 'If you continue this lifestyle, I will not be surprised that your parents will find you dead in a hotel room six months from now.' It was a shock for me but I was angry because he said this in front of my father. I told my father to ignore the doctor as they tend to be melodramatic." Instead of changing, Adnan reacted by indulging further. 'After visiting the doctor, I went straight to a bakery and ate half of their goods. My father was looking at me with anger and he asked, 'Aren't you scared of God?' He rebuked me for ignoring what the doctor said and I told him, 'Doctors keep saying things.'" But what truly hit home was a heartfelt plea from his father later that evening. 'My father told me, 'I am asking only for one thing from you, Please don't have me bury my own child. You have to bury me and not the other way around.' I saw tears in his eyes and I promised him to lose weight. Then I reduced 120 kg." The weight also affected his basic functioning. 'For many years, I couldn't sleep while lying down because when I would lay down the fat in my body would put pressure on my lungs and I would find it difficult to breathe. This caused more complications, I had water retention in my legs because of the weight and I suffered from Lymphedema." There were rumours that his transformation was the result of weight-loss surgery. Adnan shut those down. 'My nutritionist gave me a high-protein diet, excluding sugar, alcohol, rice, bread, alcohol, oil, and it was a very high-protein diet. I went on the diet and I started reducing weight. I reduced 20 kgs in the first month of following the diet." Adnan Sami songs Adnan Sami is known for his soulful voice and hit songs that blend Indian and Western styles. Tracks like Lift Karade, Kabhi To Nazar Milao, and Tera Chehra made him a household name in the early 2000s. First Published:

120 kg weight loss plan that helped Adnan Sami lose fat. Check his diet and routine
Singer and music composer Adnan Sami's weight loss journey has long inspired fans across the world. Once weighing 230 kilograms, the artist managed to shed an astonishing 120 kilograms—without any form of surgery. His transformation wasn't overnight but the result of a disciplined lifestyle, a strict diet plan, and a life-altering emotional push. No Surgery, Just a Strict Plan There were widespread rumors that Sami might have opted for bariatric surgery or liposuction, but he addressed these claims directly in an episode of 'Aap Ki Adalat'. He clarified that no surgical methods were involved in his transformation. Explaining the misconceptions, he said liposuction is a localized fat removal technique, and given the extent of his obesity, it wouldn't have been sufficient. He relied entirely on a high-protein, low-carb meal plan curated by a professional nutritionist. The Diet That Helped Him Drop 120 Kg Sami's weight loss began with a complete dietary overhaul. His nutritionist placed him on a strict plan that involved eliminating several common food items. He followed a no bread, no rice, no sugar, no oil, no alcohol diet. These restrictions formed the foundation of his routine. By removing these high-calorie and inflammatory ingredients, his body responded positively to the changes. In the first month of this new routine alone, Adnan lost 20 kilograms. This early success gave him the momentum to continue. Gradual and sustained changes over the following months eventually helped him reach 110 kg. A Routine That Demanded Consistency Though not many details are public about his exercise habits, the singer focused heavily on maintaining his disciplined food intake. The simplicity of his diet—focused on clean, protein-rich meals—meant he did not rely on fancy ingredients or supplements. The absence of oil and sugar played a key role in reducing excess fat and managing insulin levels. In interviews, he often emphasized that there was no magic trick or shortcut involved. It was a slow, steady process of following his diet plan without fail. His weight loss was driven more by what he didn't eat rather than what he did, proving that careful elimination and discipline can be more effective than extreme solutions. Why He Chose To Lose Weight? Adnan Sami once faced a critical health crisis due to his extreme weight. During a medical consultation, doctors gave him a chilling warning: if he continued his current lifestyle, they wouldn't be surprised if his parents found him dead in a hotel room within six months. The statement, delivered in the presence of his father, was blunt and hard-hitting. While Sami initially brushed it off, even going to a bakery and consuming several items in defiance, the emotional toll of that moment stayed with him. That evening, a conversation with his father changed the course of his life. His father pleaded, 'Please don't have me bury my own child. You have to bury me and not the other way around.' Seeing his father's tears and fear, Sami made a vow—he would not let his family suffer due to his choices anymore.

Adnan Sami shares how he lost 120 kg without any surgery: ‘I followed no bread, no rice, no sugar, no oil diet'
Singer and music composer Adnan Sami achieved a remarkable transformation, losing 120 kg to go from 230 kg down to 110 kg. His weight loss journey was driven by a complete lifestyle overhaul. On the June 1 episode of Aap Ki Adalat, Adnan opened up about this pivotal phase of his life and shared the secrets behind his inspiring journey to fitness. (Also read: Woman who lost 55 kg without dieting reveals what she eats in a day to maintain the weight: 'I finally began to heal' ) When asked on the show if he had undergone any kind of surgery to lose weight, Adnan replied, "There has been a lot of speculation, some people said I went through bariatric surgery, others said liposuction. For those who don't know, liposuction is a procedure where fat is removed from specific areas with a needle, usually for spot reduction." He added humorously, 'In my case, I weighed 230 kg, I would have needed a vacuum cleaner to remove all that fat!' A post shared by India TV Aap Ki Adalat (@indiatvaapkiadalat) Talking about what motivated him, Adnan shared, "At the beginning, I was very motivated because it's easier to lose weight initially since you shed a lot of water from your body. I lost 20 kg in the first month, which made me really happy. One day, I was at a shopping mall and saw a T-shirt in XL, I was 9XL at the time and I really liked it." He joked, "My mom told me that even my arm wouldn't fit in that T-shirt back then." That moment became a promise to himself that he would fit into that shirt one day. "Whenever I felt like I had lost some weight, I would try on that shirt, sometimes two or three times a night to see if it fit. Then, one day, I wore it, and it fit perfectly. It was around 3 a.m. when I called my father, jumping with happiness," he recalled. He also shared, "I realised I could now see my knuckles on my hands, which were hidden under fat before." Adnan summed it up, "This is how I lost weight, through a lot of hard work. There is no shortcut in life."
