1987! My 1st Hajj. I was 15 years old and in Makkah, in God’s Holy Haram Sharif Mosque, with the Kaaba in front of me – I loved a certain girl. I prayed earnestly to God that when I grew up, she would become my wife. In 1989, two years later – she fell for someone else. And she has been married twice in her life. 2022! My last relationship! We were happy. In love. Even my Mother said, “This is it!” Almost mysteriously – she changed overnight. All ended in January. God took her away. There is no other explanation. So I blame no one as man is helpless in front of God’s will.

Controversy
Allegations Against His Brother
In a social media post, Junaid Sami Khan made various allegations against his brother Adnan Sami Khan’s personal life. In his Facebook post, Junaid Sami Khan revealed that Adnan Sami was born on August 15, 1969, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and not in England. Junaid wrote,
Adnan Sami was born on 15 August 1969 in a Rawal Pindi hospital. I was born in the same hospital in 1973. So him stating he was born in England or any other place are all lies. He failed his O levels in England and got the degrees made from Lahore. He did his A levels privately in Abu Dhabi.”
In the same social media post, Junaid Sami Khan accused Adnan Sami Khan of releasing objectionable videos of his second wife and ruining his musical career. Junaid penned,
This thing bothers me. I can’t do the same with my girlfriend. Adnan made porn DVDs with his/her second wife Saba between the years 2007-2008. A lot happens between husband and wife and it should be kept to oneself. Adnan had claimed in the court that this video was not made by him/her, but Saba’s boyfriend and also gave the DVD to the court, so that the whole of India could see it. All these things are lies.Adnan Sami could have helped me musically big time! He knows I have talent too and can sing. Many have said to me I have a slightly better voice than him even! The edge! But he never cared and remained selfish as he is. Never launched me in India! He is a shady character. Did he fear I may have overtaken him career-wise? Don’t rule it out! Now I sit at home doing nothing! Adnan Sami is the main reason for it.”
Further, Junaid revealed that Adnan went to jail in Canada during a major raid and how their father lost his Ambassador post and developed diabetes. Junaid also mentioned Adnan Sami’s Indian citizenship and said that Adnan had adopted Indian citizenship because he can earn a better amount of money in India than in Pakistan; however, later, Junaid deleted the social media post.
