It was surreal to hear 35000 people singing ‘Tera Chehra’” - Adnan Sami

Adnan Sami had some of the most exhilarating moments of his life when he recently visited Europe for his Live-in concerts at London, Scotland and Amsterdam. While he performed at as many as 5 concerts over a period of time, the one held in Wembley Arena, London, turned out to be an unforgettable affair.

"Imagine 35000 people singing ‘Tera Chehra’ with you. It was surreal", says Adnan Sami who was accompanied by other upcoming artists from India that included Monali Thakur, runners up from Indian Idol 2 and Javed Ali, who shot to fame with ‘Jashn-e-Baharaan’ from ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ amongst other professional dancers.

"The best part about the concert was that everything was done with a Live orchestra. There was nothing pre-recorded which made the event a real success with the audience", says an emotionally charged Adnan who plans to take a world tour soon post the success of these concerts.

A quick video search on internet reveals that his concerts had indeed opened to a great response in each of the cities. Why hasn’t there been much hype and hoopla created about the event out here in India?

"Woh kehte hai naa ki jo garajte hai woh baraste nahi", winks Adnan, "The news had to spread by itself and we were not required to make any additional effort for media coverage. Now that you are asking about it, I am sharing details with you."

Apart from ‘Tera Chehra’, Adnan was forever requested to sing his flagship number ‘Kabhi To Nazar Milao’, the track that shot him into limelight a few years back.

"Yes, ‘Kabhi To Nazar Milao’ was a hot favorite too. I also sung my new as well as old tracks from both films as well as non-films. These were tracks like ‘Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein’, ‘Life Kara De’, ‘Mehbooba Mehbooba’, ‘Assalaam Walekum’ and many more", reveals Adnan.
