Adnan Sami talks about his collabortaion with Asha Bhosle for latest track 'Aao Na' , says
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 16 (ANI): Singer Adnan Sami talked about his collaboration with legendary singer Asha Bhosle for the song 'Aao Na' featuring Eisha Singh and Avinash Mishra. He shared that he is working with her on an independent song after 25 years since the release of 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao.' In a conversation with ANI, he said, 'My collaboration with Asha Bhosle ji last time as an independent song was 25 years ago. It was 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao'. After that, we did a lot of other songs. But we didn't do an independent song, a single. So this was a long time wish of ours. And the fans also wished for a follow-up. So I am not one of those people. And of course, Asha ji is not one of those people who do anything for no reason, just for the sake of routine. So we were waiting for something interesting and the right opportunity to bring such a collaboration again. So finally, this song came out. It's a very interesting song.' With Adnan's signature charm and Asha's timeless voice, 'Aao Na' is a melody that understands the language of the heart and speaks it song, penned by Kunaal Vermaa, radiates romance, rhythm and the thrill of second chances, wrapped in Adnan's heartfelt composition and Asha Bhosle's vintage-but-hip charm. While talking about the song, he said, 'It's a song by Noak Jhok. And it's a very cute song. So when I sang it to Asha ji, she really liked it. So we got together and recorded it. And it has turned out really, really well. And I hope people will love it as much as we did making it.' He added that most important thing is 'music' that makes it immortal and successful, 'I think the most important thing in music, the most important thing is change, genres change. Sometimes it's disco, sometimes it's hip-hop, sometimes it's house, sometimes it's trance, whatever comes. These trends come and go. But the things that remain evergreen are always melodies. And that is why all the songs of the past, which were based on melody, their foundation was melody. People still like it. People sometimes reimagine it, recreate it, remix it, or use whatever word you want to use. But the thing is, the melody remains the same. You change its genre. You do the same song in disco style or house style or hip-hop. But people still like that song because its melody is strong. That is why those songs are still fresh today in people's minds and hearts. ' The ace singer shared that now the music is 'corporate-driven,' and it has a huge impact as 'corporates are involved in statistics. That's how they sell their products--statistics, data, etc. They have brought that into music, too. Music is not soap. Music is not a pair of scissors. Music is a very different thing. It is connected with spirituality and God, and it is connected with emotions. You can say that we have amazing statistics and data, that this age group is listening to this type of music. If you have such good data, which we didn't have, then why don't you make a hit song? You have all the data. Then you should be able to create hits after hits. Then why aren't you? Data is something that is there just to give you some kind of support. Something I created is being liked in Delhi. And it is being liked in Delhi more than it is being liked in Chandigarh. But that is not going to dictate to you what the melody should be. There is no formula.' The 'Lift karadey' singer continued, 'And in that situation, you need to give the creative freedom to the music composers to compose from their heart. Because when you listen to a song, you don't listen to it like, listen to this song, its data is very good, listen to its statistics, and tell me how good the song is because of the melody that hits you and that needs to be left to the people that are blessed in that field..' 'Don't dictate to the melody makers, how to do their job. So when there is interference there, because they try to give data-driven advice, then musicians or composers get under pressure. And they say it will go to someone else if I don't do the new guys. Because they want to remain in the business, they end up listening to these guys...,' he added. Sami was born in London, England, on 15 August 1971, it coincides with Independence Day. On talking about his connection with India, he shared, 'My birth could have been on 14th August(Independence Day of Pakistan). But it was on 15th August. When I was born, no one thought about it. And I wasn't aware of it. But today, when we look at it, I believe it was a great sign that your future is there (India). And your life and your destiny is there. So, like I said, He's(Almighty) the greatest planner. And nobody can question it. And he has proven that time and again. And I am extremely, extremely grateful and happy that I came home..' Meanwhile, talking about his work front and achievements, the ace singer received the prestigious Padma Shri Award in 2020. Adnan Sami has sung several songs, including 'Mujhko Bhi Toh Lift Kara De', 'Tera Chehra', 'Kabhi To Nazar Milao', 'Tu Sirf Mera Mehboob', 'Kuch Pyar Bhi Kar', among others. (ANI)

Adnan Sami's Doctor Told His Parents They'd Find Him Dead In 6 Months: 'It Was A Shock'
Last Updated: Adnan Sami opens up on losing 120 kg naturally after a powerful message from his father and a doctor's At the height of his musical success, singer Adnan Sami was silently fighting a life-threatening health battle. Weighing 230 kgs, he was at serious risk—but didn't take it seriously until a powerful conversation with his father became the wake-up call he needed. In a recent chat with India TV, Adnan opened up about his past struggles and how he turned his life around. Despite his weight causing severe discomfort and health issues, Adnan Sami admitted he wasn't initially worried. Recalling a moment at the doctor's clinic, he 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." Instead of changing, Adnan reacted by indulging further. '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.'" But what truly hit home was a heartfelt plea from his father later that evening. 'My father told me, 'I am asking only for one thing from you, Please don't have me bury my own child. You have to bury me and not the other way around.' I saw tears in his eyes and I promised him to lose weight. Then I reduced 120 kg." The weight also affected his basic functioning. 'For many years, I couldn't sleep while lying down because when I would lay down the fat in my body would put pressure on my lungs and I would find it difficult to breathe. This caused more complications, I had water retention in my legs because of the weight and I suffered from Lymphedema." There were rumours that his transformation was the result of weight-loss surgery. Adnan shut those down. 'My nutritionist gave me a high-protein diet, excluding sugar, alcohol, rice, bread, alcohol, oil, and it was a very high-protein diet. I went on the diet and I started reducing weight. I reduced 20 kgs in the first month of following the diet." Adnan Sami songs Adnan Sami is known for his soulful voice and hit songs that blend Indian and Western styles. Tracks like Lift Karade, Kabhi To Nazar Milao, and Tera Chehra made him a household name in the early 2000s. First Published:

Adnan Sami Opens Up On Why He Left Pakistan And Chose To Stay In India, Was Facing A Lot Of Problems...
New Delhi: Singer and composer Adnan Sami was born in Pakistan and later in 2016 became an Indian citizen. In a latest interview with India TV's Aap Ki Adalat, Adnan Sami opened up on why he chose to move to India, problems he faced and lack of support in the Pakistani music industry. Adnan Sami's Professional Trouble In Pakistan Sharing what went wrong in Pakistan, he said, "I come from a very privileged family. I was never greedy for money because I was born in a home where I always had everything. An artiste is always wishing for audience. I got a lot of love from Pakistan, but I wanted a larger audience. After the songs I released in 1998, people in the Pakistani music industry thought my songs wouldn't work and I'm finished. So they didn't provide any publicity 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." What Asha Bhosle Advised Adnan Sami He recalled a conversation with veteran singer Asha Bhosle and said, "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." In response, Bhosle advised him to move to Mumbai, saying, "'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.'" "Main boriya bistar le ke pahuch gaya Mumbai," Sami said, recalling how Bhosle and her family supported him during his early days in India. "She made me stay in RD Burman's home. I was very lucky because it was like a music temple," he added. Songs Went Unnoticed In Pakistan The songs that had earlier gone unnoticed in Pakistan became hits in India. "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", he added. Sami added that his move to India was not motivated by money. "Money wasn't my driving force. In fact, when I came here, I had to start from scratch again," he said. "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." He applied for Indian citizenship in 2015 and was granted it the following year. Earlier this year, he was awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour.
