Singer-composer Adnan Sami recently took a trip down memory lane and recalled being stopped by an immigration officer in the US as he was unrecognisable from his passport photograph because of drastic weight loss.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the singer said, ‘I remember a few years ago when I was entering the US, they had a problem. Mujhe Google mai jaake unko dikhana pada ki look I am the same person and there are all these articles about my weight loss. And then when they saw the before and after, they were like he is the same guy.’
He further shared that losing 130 kgs was a conscious effort. He also revealed that he had tried losing weight before that but had failed.
‘My determination was not that strong earlier. It was just a question of adapting yourself to a new lifestyle and luckily, I managed to keep it going. I just took baby steps,’ Adnan told Bollywood Hungama.
Adnan Sami said that his wardrobe has completely changed and added that he has kept a few of his old clothes as souvenirs.
On the work front, Adnan Sami’s last track ‘Alvida’ was released in July 2022.
