The Bhar Do Jholi Meri (Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2016) singer adds, “I started my journey in London and then moved to Portugal and then came to India. The most important thing to take from this is that art is above anything else including geography,” he says. “When I was suddenly informed of this award, I was completely taken by surprise. And so, this honour is even more special. In 2016, Sami was granted Indian citizenship by the government. It has inspired and rejuvenated me with more enthusiasm.” When somebody praises you, it makes you want to do even better. I would want to believe that there’s another life in front of me and I feel the responsibility to do and share more. Talking about it, he says, “It’s a beautiful blessing that I’ve been given the award at this age. While the 50-year-old is motivated to work harder now, he feels a sense of responsibility. I had a whole flashback of everything I’ve been through in my life as a person and artiste. Sami describes the moment as “ethereal” and elaborates, “When I was sitting there and waiting for the ceremony to start, I was absorbing the environment. For singer Adnan Sami, being conferred with Padma Shri has been an “unparalleled honour”.
