Singer and music composer Adnan Sami, originally from Pakistan and who became an Indian citizen in 2016, has frequently encountered criticism from Pakistani citizens regarding his relocation. Many have speculated that financial reasons motivated this decision. However, during a recent appearance on India TV's Aap Ki Adalat, Adnan clarified the true reason for his move to India.

Adnan Sami discussed the lack of support from the Pakistani music industry.
