“I Love My Country”: Azaan Sami Khan Responds to Online Trolls

Pakistani actor, singer, and assistant director Azaan Sami Khan has revealed that he was often asked to speak out against his father, famous singer Adnan Sami Khan — but he refused to do so.

In a recent interview, Azaan shared, “Many people have told me to publicly distance myself from my father, but I love him very much.”

He admitted that while he doesn’t agree with many of his father’s decisions as a Pakistani, he still respects him as a parent. Azaan expressed disappointment over the harsh comments he receives online. “Whenever I post something on social media, people call me a traitor’s son. But I live here, I chose to work in the Pakistani entertainment industry. Still, I am judged for my father’s decisions.”

Azaan also mentioned that Adnan Sami has Indian citizenship and is respected in India, even receiving the Padma Shri award. “I could go there anytime, but I never have. I love my country and always will,” he added.

He said his mother and ancestors were patriotic, and questioned, “Do I have to spend my whole life proving that I love my country too?”

Calling the criticism painful, Azaan said he is deeply patriotic himself and wants to be judged for who he is, not for the choices of his father.
