Adnan Sami was told he could die in six months at 230 kg: ‘Went straight to a bakery and ate half of their goods'
Singer Adnan Sami was 230kg when his doctors gave him the warning that if he kept up with his lifestyle, he would die in six months. Following that, he went straight to a bakery and ate half of their goods. Also read: The biggest 'loser': Didn't undergo weight-loss surgery, says Adnan Sami
In an interview with India TV, Adnan looked back at his weight journey and the emotional conversation with his father.
Adnan said, '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.'
The singer revealed that his lifestyle at that time didn't help him lose the weight. He added, '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. ''
He shared that he was so overweight he couldn't sleep lying down and had to sleep sitting up for many years. Adnan had an emotional conversation with his father where he told him that he doesn't want to bury his own child, sharing he 'saw tears in his eyes'. That's when he promised his father that he would lose weight and then lost 120kg.
There were people who claimed that Adnan lost weight through surgeries. He has refuted such claims and shared that his nutritionist gave him a high-protein diet, excluding sugar, alcohol, rice, bread, alcohol, and oil.
Adnan, who shot to fame in India with his song Lift Karadey in 2000, underwent a massive weight loss transformation. In 2022, Adnan 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?'
At that time, he told Hindustan Times, "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.

This is the 1 snack fat loss coach recommends for women trying to lose weight: ‘It supports muscle and reduces cravings'
Snacking often gets a bad rap when you're trying to lose weight. But not all snacks are created equal. While some can derail your progress, others can actually support your goals. Fat loss specialist Patrick Hong shared in his June 28 Instagram post the best snacks to curb cravings and boost fat loss without guilt. (Also read: Man who lost 30 kg shares how yoga helped him lose weight: 'It's gentle but powerful way to burn fat' ) Fat loss coach recommends protein shakes over traditional snacks for women. (Unsplash) When it comes to snacking for fat loss, fat loss coach Patrick doesn't hesitate, his top pick is always a protein shake. In a quick, rapid-fire round of snack comparisons, he consistently puts the shake first. Fruit or dark chocolate? Fruit. Fruit or rice crackers? Still fruit. But when fruit goes up against a protein shake, the shake wins. The same goes for miso soup, leftover rice and egg, peanut butter and banana, popcorn, and even boiled eggs. Every time, Patrick chooses the protein shake. Protein deficiency and fat loss benefits Why? 'Most women are deficient in protein,' he says. 'They're probably only getting around 50 grams a day, which is way too low. One protein shake can bump that up by at least 25 grams, taking them closer to 80 grams instead of 50. That extra protein makes a huge difference for fat loss, it supports muscle, reduces cravings, and keeps you full longer. It's going to do way more for your body than any of those other snacks.' He's clear that his advice is especially geared toward women: 'If it's for a guy, the answer might be different. But for ladies? Protein shake. You can never have enough, fight me.'

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection: Aamir Khan film shows massive 92% jump on second Saturday, crosses ₹100 crore
Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection: Despite facing competition from new releases like Kajol's Maa and Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par witnessed a significant jump in its day 9 box office collection and has now crossed the ₹ 100 crore mark, according to Sacnilk. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par crosses ₹ 100 crore mark at the domestic box office. The trade tracking site reported that Aamir's film saw a jump of 92% on its second Saturday, collecting ₹ 12.75 crore at the box office, up from ₹ 6.65 crore on Friday. The total collection of the film now stands at ₹ 108 crore. This week saw two new releases — Kajol's Maa, which earned ₹ 6.2 crore on day 2, and Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, which collected ₹ 7 crore, both less than what Sitaare Zameen Par managed. Sitaare Zameen Par has grossed approximately ₹ 165 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk, making it the fifth highest-grossing Bollywood movie of the year. It is expected to cross Salman Khan's Sikandar ( ₹ 185 crore gross) in the next couple of days to become the fourth biggest grosser of the year among Hindi films. About Sitaare Zameen Par Helmed by RS Prasanna, the film is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. The film stars Aamir as a basketball coach who trains a team of specially-abled children as punishment for a drink-and-drive case. Backed by Aamir Khan Productions, the film also stars Genelia D'Souza in the lead role alongside 10 debutants, including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar — all of whom are specially-abled. An excerpt from Hindustan Times' review of Sitaare Zameen Par reads, "The first half is slow and tests your patience. Aamir being angry with his new role, getting to know his special team, then struggling in his marriage with Sunita (Genelia Deshmukh) — there's a lot that eats up screen time and feels like lazy writing. There's the occasional laugh, pretty much what one saw in the trailer. The intermission point too isn't on a high. You settle into your seats after this, ready for a yawn-fest. But this is exactly when Sitaare Zameen Par miraculously finds its groove."
