Adnan Sami who is trolled regularly or more so after the abrogation of Article 370, has come down heavily on Pakistani's saying that they are 'frustrated with their own lives', and that they are taking it out on him since they know that he has moved on. This was the answer to when a user on Twitter asked the singer, “You get so much flak from the Pakistanis. How do you cope?” 

Sami was born in London to a Pakistani diplomat father and his mother was from Jammu and Kashmir. The singer relocated to India in the late 1990s and took Indian nationality on January 1, 2016 after giving up his Pakistani citizenship.

On August 14 (Pakistan's Independence Day), a user asked Adnan Sami why he doesn't tweet on India's Independence Day, to which he said, he will on August 15. Sami gave it back to the troll with an example of Jinnah.

Back in June, singer Adnan Sami's Twitter account was allegedly hacked on Tuesday by Ayyildiz Tim, the same Turkish hacker group, Ayyildiz Tim, which attacked megastar Amitabh Bachchan's micro blogging page a day ago. Similar to how Bachchan's profile was compromised, the group replaced Sami's profile picture with a photo of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and changed the bio, adding "Ayyildiz Tim Love Pakistan" with an emoji of Pakistani and Turkish flags. The group had previously hacked Twitter accounts of actors Shahid Kapoor and Anupam Kher among others as well.
