Adnan Sami Death Threats

Adnan Sami Death Threats

The Adnan Sami-Sabah  marital  discord just got murkier.And Pakistan's prime minister and president are now in the  loop of the crisis.

On  Thursday morning  after   the stories   about  the  ugly  pow-wow  between  Adnan's  dharma patni  and  Pooja Bedi  appeared,  Adnan  Sami received  his first death threat  .

And  Adnan has  spoken to the Pakistani prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani  about the threats.

 "I had  to," confesses Adnan. "He's an old family friend . I know  him  from the time he was the  speaker of  the Pakistani assembly.And I've  informed the Pak  President  Asif  Zardari also. They had to  know about the threats because  if  something happens to me they should  know whom  to  point a  finger at.If I  am harmed it would become an international  issue and I don't  want  the wrong people  to be  accused. Agar hoga  to  wahan par  ungli  lagao."

Both Pakistan's President and   Prime Minister have ensured Adnan all support  and co-operation. "Not just  them. I've  also approached the Indian Home Ministry and  the highest  authorities have assured me the optimum co-operation. The support I've received during the  time of my stress from outside  and  inside  Bollywood is overwhelming."

Speaking reluctantly  on the  horrific  intimidation Adnan  harassed  beyond  endurance and  on  the brink of a breakdown said, "The  first call came at around  9.30 am  on   Thursday followed  by one every half hour.   It was  very clear in its intention.  The person  on  the other end  warned me to layoff  someone or  face the consequences. But I didn't act intimidated at all.The caller clearly named the person  on whose behalf  he was calling. I was horrified   and appalled beyond  words. Can anyone  normal  or sane stoop so low?"

Adnan immediately  informed the Mumbai  authorities  that his life is in danger. "They've very  kindly  beefed  up my  security . The number of security personnel around me  has gone  up drastically. But I'm not  feeling safe any  longer. I  want  people to  know who's  to blame   if  something happens  to me."

Adnan has   informed  key persons  in his life  about the threats and  whom to  hold responsible  if something were  to happen  to  him.  "I feel everyone close to me  is now  in danger. So I've decided  that they should all stay  as far away as possible from the house.My mother who was in Islamabad for her father's funeral  is  back in  the  house  to look after  my father. But  I'm asking my entire family and  friends  to  be  nowhere near me. My mom won't travel anhywhere  with me.  I'd  never  be  able to forgive  myself they came  to  any harm. My son Azaan bechara he  came to know  and  insisted he  was coming over right away.  He was  distraught.No chance in hell I'd  leave  him vulnerable to any attack. And the  person  getting these  calls made  would happily  hurt my son.Azaan threatens to  catch  the  next  flight to Mumbai."

Adnan  says the  caller  makes it clear  on whose  behalf  the calls are being made.

 "No bumper prizes for guessing  who," he chuckles. "I've told them  , "Jo bhi karna hai kar lo.'

Says Adnan, "I'm  in and out  of   court  so much now, it's  become a way  of life . Now with these  death threats the law and  the legal  system are my best friends. I've begun to feel so  isolated from all my friends. The  other day I recorded a song  with A R Rahman. Everyone was  being polite  but distant.  They   didn't know what  to   say to me until I broke the  ice by  saying, 'Sorry I'm half an hour late, guys. I was just dealing with a troublesome wife in  court.' They burst  out laughing."

Adnan's lawyers now  have  a written  a document from him which would be  opened  in case he's harmed.  "I know exactly whom to blame  if anything happens  to me. And I also know which political  party in Mumbai is  abetting this person."
