Adnan Sami on Pakistan visa rejection ‘Watched my mother’s janaza on video’

Renowned singer and composer Adnan Sami, known for iconic hits like Tera Chehra and Lift Karadey, recently shared a heart-wrenching personal experience that left many emotional. In a deeply moving interview on Aap Ki Adalat, Adnan revealed how he was denied a visa by Pakistan to attend his mother’s funeral, forcing him to say his final goodbye over a WhatsApp video call.

“Maine yaha ki sarkaar se pucha main jana chahta hu toh apko koi objection to nahi. Unhone kaha, ‘Zahir hai, aapki maa ka inteqal hua hai, aapko zaroor



jana chahiye’. Unki taraf se koi problem nahi tha,” Adnan Sami shared. 

He further added, “I applied for a visa and told them my mother had passed away. Still, they refused. I couldn’t go. I watched the entire janaza through a WhatsApp video call.”

Despite pleading with authorities and assuring them that his visit was purely personal and not political, he was still refused entry. “I just wanted to see my mother one last time,” he said. This made him feel hurt and deeply disappointed.
