The Lahore-born artist first landed in India on March 13, 2001, but many locals are still having a hard time accepting that the singer is, in effect, Indian now.

Khan's recent tweet has been met with criticism from Pakistanis. "Adnan Sami's father was in Pakistan Air Force and fought during the 1965 war. He also received a Sitara-e-Jurat. Adnan Sami just won Tamgha-e-Begairat," a user wrote.

Another wrote, "Biting the hand that feeds you perfectly suits Adnan Sami. How could this man forget those days when it was Pakistan who gave him work, not only as a singer (Zara Dholki Bajao Goriyo) but as an actor (Sargam) as well. Today, he’s calling the same country an enemy."

"When the war is over, I will surely join politics and run from Mumbai. My main agenda will be a walk of shame for Adnan Sami. Will feed makers of Jani Dushman to crocodiles. Will pay for Lakshmipati Balaji Facial," commented another.
