“When my first album came out, it wasn’t Bollywood. The singer, who shot to mainstream popularity in India with hit songs like “Kabhi to nazar milao” and “Lift karaa de”, says that the love he has received from the citizens here is “everything” for him. It will happen one day, but in the meanwhile let’s play cricket.
Nothing will happen out of that, but why not. And if such a thing can happen, I like more than a billion people here would love it,” he added.Īs far as the controversy over the India and Pakistan cricket series is concerned, the singer said: “Yes, cricket should be played. There is nothing more beautiful for a musician to listen and see harmony. Wherever I see harmony, I would go towards there.
“I am a singer, my job is to create music and harmony. When asked about his role in fostering India-Pakistan relations, Sami said that as a singer, his “job is to create music and harmony”. If the music touches you, then it shouldn’t matter,” he added. “If Michael Jackson recorded his music in Los Angeles or London, how does it matter? It (the music) reached me, I like it and that’s it.
It doesn’t matter even if it is in another language because I love the music,” he said. If I listen to a song, I don’t care about the colour, religion or country of the singer.
The “Bhar do jholi meri” hitmaker also expressed his opinion about the controversy surrounding the cancellation of popular Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali’s performances in Mumbai and Pune due to protests by the Shiv Sena. The singer, who came to India on a visitor’s visa, had been staying in the country since March 2001. Sami was granted permission to stay in India in August. “If there was intolerance in the country, would I have asked for citizenship in the country? I believe actions speak louder than words,” Sami said at a session of Agenda Aaj Tak here on Saturday. NEW DELHI– Amidst the clamour over the rising intolerance in the country, famous Pakistani singer Adnan Sami, who requested to stay in India on humanitarian grounds earlier this year, says that he wouldn’t have sought Indian citizenship if there was such an issue.
