After reported fights between his estranged wife Sabah and friend Pooja Bedi, Adnan Sami has now got death threats. The Bollywood singer says he has informed Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and President Asif Ali Zardari about the calls.
‘I had to,’ said Adnan. ‘He’s (Gilani) an old family friend. I know him from the time he was the speaker of the Pakistan assembly. And I’ve informed President Asif Zardari also. They had to know about the threats because if something happens to me, they should know whom to point a finger at,’ Adnan told IANS.
Adnan, who is of Pakistani descent but born and brought up in Britain, has been living in Mumbai for quite some time. His father Arshad Sami Khan was a Pakistani diplomat and was close to many of Pakistan’s political elite.
‘If I’m harmed, it would become an international issue and I don’t want the wrong people to be accused,’ Adnan added.
Sabah suspects Pooja has a relationship with Adnan and attacked her when she visited him at his home. Pooja is said to have suffered scratches in Sabah’s assault.
Both Pakistan’s president and prime minister have ensured Adnan all support and cooperation.
‘Not just them. I’ve also approached the Indian home ministry and the highest authorities have assured me optimum cooperation. The support I’ve received during the time of my stress from outside and inside Bollywood is overwhelming,’ said Adnan.
Speaking reluctantly about the death calls, Adnan said: ‘The first call came at around 9.30 a.m. on Thursday followed by one every half hour. It was very clear in its intention.
I’ve told Pak’s PM who wants to kill me: Adnan
