Adnan Sami calls Pakistan an 'ex-lover' amid debate over his citizenship: 'Can't see me moving on with India'
Adnan Sami addresses the controversy surrounding his Indian citizenship, likening the backlash to an 'ex-lover' unable to accept his decision. He emphasizes that his move was based on personal grounds, questioning why it draws criticism amid widespread global migration. Sami clarifies his discontent was with the Pakistani government, not its people, expressing gratitude for the continued love from his audience. Adnan Sami has finally addressed the ongoing chatter around his Indian citizenship, saying the backlash feels like an 'ex-lover' who can't accept him moving on. While his music continues to win hearts, Sami believes it's time the focus shifts from his nationality to his decades-long contribution to music. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adnan spoke about his citizenship often overshadowing his musical contributions. He likened the situation to that of an ex-lover struggling to move on. He explained that the backlash he receives stems more from lingering emotions than genuine criticism—suggesting that beneath the negativity lies unresolved affection and a reluctance to let go. Sami said he understands the psyche behind such reactions, even if they manifest in strange or emotional ways. The singer further pointed out that many people are unaware of the circumstances that led to his decision, and it's unfair for anyone to assume they understand his reasons. He emphasized that his choice was based on solid, personal grounds. Addressing the backlash, he questioned why global migration is widely accepted, yet his move draws criticism—highlighting the ongoing geopolitical tension between India and Pakistan . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo Ultimately, he reiterated that much of the negativity stems from what he described as an 'ex-lover syndrome,' a lingering emotional reaction rather than a rational one. He also reflected on the lack of recognition he received from the Pakistani government throughout his decades-long music career. Despite contributing to the industry for nearly 40 years, he said he was never honoured or awarded by the authorities there—a disappointment that was only a small part of the challenges he faced. However, he clarified that his issues were never with the people of Pakistan. On the contrary, he expressed deep affection and gratitude for his audience, who he said have always showered him with love and continue to do so. Adnan further clarified that his discontent was directed solely at the government, not the people of Pakistan. He emphasised that the general public has always shown him immense love, and he continues to feel a deep connection with them. As an artist, he believes in reciprocating love equally and holds no bitterness toward anyone. While some may develop resentment over his choices, he views even that as stemming from a place of love. He expressed hope that, with time, these feelings would heal. His music, he stressed, is for everyone—without borders or conditions—and he welcomes all who wish to engage with it. His citizenship became a widely discussed topic after he was granted Indian citizenship by the Government of India, effective January 1, 2016. Born in the UK to Pakistani parents, Sami had held Pakistani citizenship until then. His request for Indian citizenship, made in 2015, was approved on humanitarian grounds. However, the move sparked considerable debate, with critics raising questions about the reasons behind the decision—particularly in light of his Pakistani origins and the complex political dynamics between the two countries.

Prosenjit Chatterjee on Sitaare Zameen Par's cinema-only move: Aamir can take risk
Aamir Khan's much-anticipated 'Sitaare Zameen Par' released in theatres on June 20. In a historic move, the superstar has decided to go cinema-only, ditching the OTT release altogether. His move has received mixed reviews from the industry, and actor Prosenjit Chatterjee admitted that such kind of changes are an exclusive chat with Chatterjee weighed in on Aamir Khan's decision. While he admitted that the need is required, he also mentioned how Khan's experience enables him to take such about Aamir Khan's 'only cinema' approach, Chatterjee said, "He can take the risk. He has been serving the industry for many years, and he understands the pulse and sensibilities of the audiences." The Jubilee actor added that while this won't halt the process, someone needed to take a step to initiate a change. Although he added that there's no good or bad to this method."I remember long back when content would be sold to CD companies, and it paid producers handsomely. However, after a year or two, I realised that the CDs were already in the market in a few days, and the theatre business was getting affected. So I called up all the producers for a meeting and we jointly decided that while the rights would be sold off, we need to have a gap of a good 9-12 weeks. All producers came together, and things changed to a certain level," the Bengali actor added that he saw the same trend when it came to films' television premieres. "In three or four weeks, they would start playing Bengali and even Hindi films on television. So, we stopped that and said let's give it after eight weeks. To save the theatrical business and cinema, he (Aamir Khan) is a person who can think this way or take this kind of risk. Nothing will change, a film will come on OTT and then on satellite television. That's how it works, that's how we reach our Indian audiences. But let's see how this goes (Sitaare Zameen Par's only-cinema model), and I hope it works."Marking Aamir Khan's return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has opened to a positive response from critics and fans alike. Also starring Genelia Deshmukh, the RS Prasanna is touted as the spiritual sequel of 'Taare Zameen Par'.Meanwhile, on June 19, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan also joined Aamir at the premiere and were seen warmly interacting with the film's young supporting cast, or 'sitaare', as they are lovingly referred to Watch
