Adnan Sami reveals why he sought Indian citizenship
Adnan Sami has landed himself in the midst of controversy more than a few times, but that doesn't seem to dissuade him from inviting more.
According to Deccan Chronicle, while at a Wellness Congress event, the singer shared why he decided to pack his bags and move to India.
"I am a very emotional person. If someone lovingly asks me for my life, I'll give it up. Indians have given me immense and unconditional love and I am very grateful. That was why I decided to apply for an Indian citizenship," he said.
Another Indian daily, Business Standard, quoted the former Pakistani singer as having said, "India is my karma bhoomi (workplace). I lived in various countries but my heart was always in India due to the love showered on me by the people.
"I had my own ups and downs in getting the Indian citizenship, but ultimately I got it and I am happy about it. I like India. My love is here. I am a proud Indian," he added.
At the event he also touched upon his weight loss journey: "I was never apologetic about how I looked. Because my relationship with my audience was of music and I always managed to please them."
