Bollywood playback singer Adnan Sami has once again found himself in the spotlight, this time for his sharp and humorous reaction to a joke made about him on Samay Raina’s popular roast show, India’s Got Latent 2. The incident, which quickly went viral across social media, saw comedian Aaditya Kulshreshth, known as Kullu, draw a hilarious parallel between Sami’s journey to Indian citizenship and a character from Ayushmann Khurrana’s upcoming patriotic comedy, Udta Teer.
What Was the “Pakistani Spy” Joke About?
The humorous exchange unfolded during a recent bonus episode of India’s Got Latent 2, where actor Ayushmann Khurrana was a guest, ostensibly to promote his new film, ‘Udta Teer’. During the discussion, Khurrana described his character in the movie as a “Pakistani spy who comes to India, loses his memory, and then thinks he is Indian.”
He further elaborated that the character “remembers patriotism, but forgets which country it belongs to.” It was at this point that comedian Kullu interjected with the punchline, quipping, “Woh Adnan Sami hai” (That is Adnan Sami).
Adnan Sami Mocked on ‘India’s Got Latent S2’?
The remark instantly brought laughter from the panellists and the audience, with videos of the moment circulating widely online. This joke plays on Adnan Sami’s well-known life story; born in London on August 15, 1971, Sami previously held Pakistani and Canadian citizenship before officially becoming a naturalised Indian citizen on January 1, 2016, after his Pakistani passport expired and was not renewed.
Adnan Sami’s Witty Comeback
Adnan Sami, who is 55 years old, swiftly responded to the viral clip on Instagram, embracing the humour with his characteristic wit. Commenting on the reel shared by ‘India’s Got Latent’, Sami wrote, “Pehle Mujhse ‘Rights’ Lo Aur Phir Film Banao!!!!” (First take the ‘rights’ from me, and then make the film!!!!).
This playful response was met with appreciation from fans, highlighting Sami’s ability to take such jokes in stride. The singer has, in the past, openly discussed being labelled a ‘Pakistani agent’ and often chooses to laugh off such trolls, stating that he knows what he feels for India.
