He said he was rejected on two occasions and remained ‘stateless’ for over a year.

According to Adnan Sami: ‘People think it must be easy because I’m a celebrity. But it is not easy. There was no such thing as an easy solution to a problem. You have to do everything. It’s just that you (the public) found out overnight. One morning you wake up and find out through the newspaper that you have got Indian citizenship.’

Adnan Sami continued his speech and said that it took me 18 years but what I am trying to say here is that during these 18 years I did not talk about this to the world. I was rejected twice. I had to give up my original citizenship and for some time I was stateless. For a year and a half I had no connection with any country. A passport is just a document but I did not belong to any country and in that case, I could not travel. There was nothing I could do.’

Adnan Sami Khan was born in the UK and held Pakistani citizenship. He moved to India in 2001 where he got citizenship in 2016.
