Renowned musician Adnan Sami, who originally hailed from Pakistan but formally embraced Indian citizenship in 2016, recently shared a deeply emotional birthday tribute to his son, Azaan Sami Khan. Overflowing with love and paternal pride, Adnan’s message to Azaan celebrated not only his son’s growth as a gifted musician but also as a remarkable human being.
Taking to Instagram, Adnan poured his emotions into a touching note about Azaan, his son with veteran Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar. In his birthday message, Adnan wrote, "Happy Birthday to my extraordinary son Azaan! As I celebrate another year of your life, my heart overflows with pride and love for the incredible artist and musician you've become. Most importantly, it fills my heart with warmth to see how beautiful you have become as a person…”
Although miles apart, Adnan emphasized the enduring strength of their relationship. He expressed deep respect for Azaan’s personal and professional journey, admiring his son’s unwavering determination, creativity, and character. The heartfelt message made it clear that the emotional connection between father and son runs far deeper than mere proximity.
“The fact that you've achieved so much in this short span of time despite being apart only strengthens the unbreakable bond we share - blood truly is thicker than water. I'm cheering you on from afar, and beaming with pride at every milestone..." he shared.
Adnan’s personal life has been marked by both love and loss. He married Zeba Bakhtiar in 1993, and their union brought forth their only child, Azaan. However, the marriage lasted only three years before ending in divorce. In 2001, Adnan entered a second marriage with Sabah Galadari, an Arab woman based in Dubai. Interestingly, it was the second marriage for both of them. Unfortunately, that relationship dissolved after roughly 18 months.
In an unexpected turn of events, Sabah returned to Adnan’s life in 2008, and the two remarried and began living together again in Mumbai. However, their second attempt at building a life together proved short-lived, ending in another divorce just a year later.
Later, in 2010, Adnan found love once more with Roya Faryabi, the daughter of a retired diplomat and former military officer. He met Roya during one of her visits to India and, after spending time together, proposed to her. Their marriage brought new joy into his life, and in 2017, the couple welcomed their daughter, Medina Sami Khan.
Despite the trials of his past relationships, Adnan continues to cherish the unbreakable bond he shares with his son. His recent birthday message serves as a testament to the enduring power of love, pride, and emotional connection that transcends time, distance, and circumstance.

These movies featured some of his most well-received compositions, such as “Haye Dil,” “Noori,” and the deeply emotional “Ghalat Fehmi.” His ability to craft music that resonates with listeners quickly made him a standout figure among modern composers in Pakistan.
Khan’s formal entry into the music scene came with the release of his debut album Main Tera. This project was a significant milestone, not only because it marked his emergence as a singer-songwriter but also due to his collaboration with the legendary Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
