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!'

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."

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.

‘Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi and NTR became stars with Bollywood remakes': RGV on South films' glory
Ram Gopal Varma recently commented on superstars Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Sr NTR and their popularity. The filmmaker highlighted that the South stars enjoy the glory they have today because of the remakes of Bollywood ventures back in the day. In an interview with India TV, RGV said, 'In the beginning, all four South Indian movie industries remade Amitabh from the 70s and 80s. Stars like Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, N T Ramarao and Rajkumar gained fame by acting in such remakes.' Continuing his remarks about films during the career gap Big B took during the 1990s, the filmmaker revealed that many music companies were producing movies to promote their soundtracks. RGV concluded his words with a comparison between young Bollywood filmmakers during the 1990s. The director revealed how many of them were interested and would easily connect with international films due to their English proficiency. However, on the other hand, South Indian cinema producers in the 1990s did not have the same interest in global cinema and mostly focused on making films that had a story with mass appeal. Recently, RGV made the headlines for an entirely different reason after his appearance with Anurag Kashyap in a podcast interview. During their conversation, the filmmakers were commenting on the extensive use of VFX and high production costs. With Kashyap detailing about the same, the Shiva director commented by taking his own film's example and said, 'I never consciously thought of making Satya at low cost. I was spending what was required, and it created authenticity and realism. If I had spent Rs. 5 crores more, Satya's quality would have been five times less.' Coming to RGV's work front, the filmmaker was last seen helming the project Saaree, a psychological thriller which received panned reviews from the audience and critics. Moreover, the filmmaker had made a cameo appearance in the film Kalki 2898 AD, starring alongside Prabhas. The movie directed by Nag Ashwin was an epic sci-fi film, taking its origins from the mythology of the Mahabharata. Apart from Prabhas, the movie had actors like Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and more in pivotal roles.
