Adnan Sami Khan is a controversial celebrity, mainly due to his toxic political views. He was a singer and actor from Pakistan who actively worked in India. Adnan opted to let go of his Pakistani nationality and took Indian citizenship. He initially got criticized for it but people forgot later on. The singer’s constant barrage against Pakistan is what ended up getting him a lot of hate from the Pakistani side.
Adnan Sami Khan sat for an interview on Aap Ki Adalat and spoke about how he got his Indian citizenship. He revealed that President Musharraf had accused him of abandoning Pakistan in a letter when he was still a Pakistani citizen. He was living in India on a visa. When his Pakistani passport expired, it was not getting renewed. He was then informed by some Pakistani foreign officers that his passport will not be renewed. He will be made to come to Pakistan and he was under threat.
He went on to share that India also granted him citizenship after several years. They have a law where the Indian Government can grant Indian citizenship to people who have extraordinary talent in sports, arts or science. He received his citizenship under that law. This is the story he shared:
Adnan Sami Khan was also asked if he has ever tried to go back to Pakistan. He broke into tears when he answered this as he recently tried to come back to Pakistan for his mother’s funeral but couldn’t.
The singer shared that his mother who was in good health, suddenly passed away 2 months ago. He wanted to come back to Pakistan for her funeral. He asked Indian authorities for permission or if they had any problems with his travel. Indian authorities were allegedly okay with it. Adnan Sami Khan went on to accuse Pakistani authorities of not granting him a visa. He said he witnessed his mother’s janaza on a Whatsapp call. It was cruel but Pakistani authorities did not allow him to travel to Pakistan.
Here is what he said:

Don’t play the victim card now.” Another said, ” Good on the person who rejected your visa. You deserve it after all the hate you spread.” A person said,”You should have cared for your mother while she was alive.” This is what the internet has to say:
