Film industry firmly draws lines

Singer Adnan Sami has hit back at social media trolls questioning his citizenship after Union Home Minister Amit Shah called up Chief Ministers across the country, asking them to ensure that no Pakistani national remains in India beyond the set deadline. This comes after the horrifying terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, in which 26 innocent lives were lost.

The announcement sparked a wave of reactions online, with one X user sarcastically questioning, “What about Adnan Sami?” Adnan, who became an Indian citizen in 2016, didn’t hold back in his response. Taking to the platform, the Lift Kara De singer wrote, “Who’s going to tell this illiterate idiot,” and added a laughing emoticon.

Several users jumped in, calling him a “Pakistani agent” and questioning his loyalty. A Pakistani user mocked the singer by writing, “Adnan, bhai. Koi masla nhn, aap Pakistan mat aao. Fawad bhai ko chodo—aap ko abhi bohot information gather karni hai?”
