Singer-composer Adnan Sami has never shied away from expressing how proud he is to be an Indian citizen. But despite nearly a decade since he officially became one, the trolling hasn’t stopped especially from across the border. In a recent interview, Adnan shared how he views the criticism, comparing it to what he calls the “ex-lover syndrome.”
He explained the emotional parallel while speaking to Bollywood Bubble, saying, “It’s like an ex-lover. When an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they’ll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the reason why they actually do that is because they still haven’t gotten over you.”
Adnan Sami believes the backlash isn’t just about politics it’s often personal, even irrational. He described the trolling as a “classic case of sour grapes,” adding that while people assume they know his reasons for renouncing Pakistani citizenship, they actually don’t. “There were solid reasons,” he said. “At the end of the day, people migrate all over the world. But this is different because of the geopolitical rivalry between India and Pakistan.”
Still, Adnan clarified that his frustration was never directed at the people of Pakistan, “My issues have always been with the Pakistani government.” He said he continues to receive love from his audience there, and he values that deeply.
Despite his years of success, Adnan Sami pointed out that the Pakistani government never honoured him for his contributions to music. That lack of recognition hurt. But he also acknowledged, “For an artiste, the biggest nourishment is love. So, from whichever corner of the world they get that love, they will be very grateful for it.”
