Adnan Sami finally opens up on his viral weight loss pics: I have had a lifelong struggle with my weight

Singer-composer Adnan Sami talks to Hindustan Times about his viral pictures from his vacation, which he posted a month back.

The chiselled jawline, the drastic weight loss and the younger-looking Adnan Sami were enough to create major buzz on the internet. Last month, he shared a few pictures from his family vacation in the Maldives, and his ‘new look’ had people raving with fans wondering: “How can someone turn that hot?”

Singer Adnan Sami has undergone a physical transformation.

He laughs as he finally opens up about this transformation. “I have, for the longest period, had issues with my weight, and it has been a lifelong struggle. I keep, for lack of a better word, yo-yoing, going up on the scales. The first time I lost a tremendous amount of weight was around 2007-2008. Then, I kept putting on and losing weight. It’s a part of life. This time, too, it was a typical occasion when I had lost some weight,” says the singer, who weighed 230kg before he transformed the first time around. Now, he fluctuates between 75-80kg.

Sami goes on and says those pictures, which were widely circulated on social media, weren’t to inform people about any major change. “I posted them as routine. I didn’t realise it will suddenly go and catch the attention of people, but it did,” gushes the 50-year-old, who is ready with his latest single, Alvida.
