Pakistani-origin singer Adnan Sami, who has time and again received flak on social media by Pakistani users for being a proud Indian citizen, took to his Twitter handle to display his patriotism towards the country. A user took to social media asking him why he does not have a UK citizenship, given the fact that he was born there. Responding to it, Sami replied that he loves India.

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.
