Adnan Sami was told he could die in six months at 230 kg: ‘Went straight to a bakery and ate half of their goods'
Singer Adnan Sami was 230kg when his doctors gave him the warning that if he kept up with his lifestyle, he would die in six months. Following that, he went straight to a bakery and ate half of their goods. Also read: The biggest 'loser': Didn't undergo weight-loss surgery, says Adnan Sami In an interview with India TV, Adnan looked back at his weight journey and the emotional conversation with his father. Adnan 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.' The singer revealed that his lifestyle at that time didn't help him lose the weight. He added, '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. '' He shared that he was so overweight he couldn't sleep lying down and had to sleep sitting up for many years. Adnan had an emotional conversation with his father where he told him that he doesn't want to bury his own child, sharing he 'saw tears in his eyes'. That's when he promised his father that he would lose weight and then lost 120kg. There were people who claimed that Adnan lost weight through surgeries. He has refuted such claims and shared that his nutritionist gave him a high-protein diet, excluding sugar, alcohol, rice, bread, alcohol, and oil. Adnan, who shot to fame in India with his song Lift Karadey in 2000, underwent a massive weight loss transformation. In 2022, Adnan shared a few pictures from his family vacation in the Maldives, and his 'new look' had people raving with fans wondering: 'How can someone turn that hot?' At that time, he told Hindustan Times, "I have, for the longest period, had issues with my weight, and it has been a lifelong struggle. I keep, for lack of a better word, yo-yoing, going up on the scales. The first time I lost a tremendous amount of weight was around 2007-2008. Then, I kept putting on and losing weight. It's a part of life. This time, too, it was a typical occasion when I had lost some weight,' says the singer, who weighed 230kg before he transformed the first time around.

Adnana Sami says money isn't the ‘real reason' why he gave up Pakistan, chose India on Asha Bhosle's advice: ‘I gave up properties worth crores in Pak'
Adnan Sami, Pakistan-born singer and composer, became an Indian citizen in 2016. While he has received flak from across the border for the move, Sami has maintained that he's proud to be a part of India. Sami was even awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award of the Republic of India, earlier this year. In a new interview, Sami revealed the real reason why he started making music in India. 'After the songs I released in 1998, people in the Pakistani music industry thought I'm finished. So they didn't provide any marketing for those songs. Nobody got to know when the album released and vanished. I was very dejected. I was in Canada at that time. I knew they'd done that on purpose,' recalled Sami. In the interview with India TV, Sami recalled discussing the issue with legendary singer Asha Bhosle. She had sung popular tracks like 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao' from his 1997 album Badaltey Mausam with Sami. 'I told Asha ji I'm dejected because people here have decided they don't want to work with me for whatever reason, and that I want to record with her in London,' said Sami. ''Why do you want to record in London?' she asked me. I said I know some people there. So she said, 'See, if you really want to do something new, come to Mumbai. This is the capital of Hindi music. Whatever gets popular here would spread out to the rest of the world. So this is the place to come,'' Sami recalled his conversation with Bhosle. 'Main boriya bistar le ke pahuch gaya Mumbai,' said Sami, claiming that Bhosle and her entire family took very good care of him. Bhosle was married to legendary music composer RD Burman, who died in 1994. 'She made me stay in RD Burman's home. I was very lucky because it was like a music temple,' recalled Sami. 'The songs that didn't work in Pakistan, like 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao', 'Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein', 'Lift Karadey', they were marketed so well that the rest is history. The way people embraced me and loved me, I could've never imagined it,' added Sami. Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein and Lift Karadey were part of Sami's 2000 hit album Always Yours. Sami revealed not just him, but legends like ghazal maestros Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Mehdi Hassan, and folk singer Reshma, did thrive in Pakistan, but their popularity grew by four times. 'You can't deny the audience and the masses are in huge quantity today. The attitude and respect for music here can't be matched anywhere else,' said Sami. He lamented the fact that Hassan and Reshma saw very horrific last days and deaths despite being masters of their profession. 'The audience loves them and has always praised them. But the authorities have never offered any help. These are just a few names. There have been many others like this, including actors,' added Sami. The singer also responded to the letter then-Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf wrote to his father in 2005, criticizing him for abandoning Pakistan. 'There was no truth to that letter. In 2005, I wasn't an Indian citizen. I was a Pakistani citizen. I don't know where he got the wrong information from. It's obvious that it's gone from the bottom to the top. That's why everyone just disowned me,' Sami recalled. Also Read — Adnan Sami's Pakistani fans told him they want to change citizenship as they 'hate their army': 'You left in good time' He revealed that he didn't apply for Indian citizenship for money as he left his inherited properties worth crores back in Pakistan. 'Money wasn't my driving force. In fact, when I came here, I had to start from scratch again,' said Sami. 'I was facing a lot of problems then as a Pakistani citizen, especially in a public profession. Everyone knows all your moves. I had even reached out to Musharraf for help,' said Sami. He consequently applied for Indian citizenship in 2015, which he was granted the next year.
