Singer Adnan Sami earlier weighed 230kg, and his health had gotten so bad that he couldn’t even lie down to sleep. Recently, he recalled how doctors once gave him a terrifying warning: if he continued living the way he was, he might not live past the next six months.
Adnan remembered, “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 taking the warning seriously, Adnan reacted emotionally. “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.’”
Later, a deep conversation with his father changed everything. Adnan said he “saw tears in his eyes,” and that moment pushed him to change. He promised his father that he would lose weight, and he did. Adnan eventually lost 120kg.
Many believed he had surgery, but Adnan denied that. He credited his nutritionist and a strict high-protein diet.
Adnan, who rose to fame with Lift Karadey in 2000, has spoken about his lifelong struggle with weight. He mentioned to Hindustan Times that his weight has often gone up and down over the years, calling it a “yo-yo” battle. But his transformation, especially one shared in 2022 during a Maldives vacation, left fans stunned and inspired.
