Mumbai, September 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Singer Adnan Sami took a nostalgic trip through his archives, revisiting behind-the-scenes moments from the making of his 2002 music video Meri Yaad, from the album Tera Chehra.
Sami shared a series of throwback glimpses on Instagram, recalling memories from the filming of the song. Among the highlights was an image of the singer playing his signature black piano, an instrument closely associated with his musical journey.
“Scrolling through the archives always brings back memories. Found some behind the scenes of filming the music video for Meri Yaad,” Sami wrote in the caption.
Earlier this year, Sami had also recalled the unexpected creation of his popular song Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao, featuring Aditi Govitrikar. He said the iconic track came together within minutes one evening after dinner.
Known for performing both Indian and Western music, Sami has sung in several languages, including Hindi, Urdu, English, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. He was honoured with the Padma Shri for his contribution to music.
The piano has remained the most prominent instrument in his career. He has been credited as the first musician to play the santoor and Indian classical music on the piano.
Raised and educated in the United Kingdom, Sami was previously a Canadian citizen before becoming a naturalised Indian citizen in 2016.
His popular songs include Lift Karadey, Kabhi To Nazar Milao, Kabhi Nahi, Tera Chehra, Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein and Bhar Do Jholi Meri.
On September 7, Sami also opened up about how his life changed after becoming an Indian citizen during a conversation with trade analyst Komal Nahta on Game Changers: The Music Series.
Reflecting on the change, Sami said it had never been difficult for him to find work in India even when he was a Pakistani citizen, but added that many things changed after he received Indian citizenship. “Main India ka ho gaya aur India mera ho gaya,” he said.
