As Adnan Sami announced the uninstalling of the app, Snapchat on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, he received flak on the social media from his former nation, Pakistan.


The long festive weekend in India got its biggest viral moment spiked with an ample dose of patriotism with the Snapchat drama. For the ones who had been hibernating, partying, rejuvenating and MIA from all that spiraled down for Snapchat. For starters, Snapchat which is an image messaging and multimedia mobile application created by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown invoked the ire of its Indian users as the CEO Evan Spiegel allegedly called India a “poor country” and its use fit for the usage of “rich people”. Well, with hashtags such as #BoycottSnapchat and #Uninstall-Snapchat trending and many users resorting to the downgrading of the app on Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store, a slew of celebrity users in India too supported the boycott. Jumping aboard the boycotting bandwagon is the singer, Adnan Sami. As Adnan Sami announced the uninstalling of the app, Snapchat on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, he received flak on the social media from his former nation, Pakistan.

Adnan Sami who was granted the Indian citizenship last year had similarly face flak when he had supported India for the surgical strikes carried out in Pakistan. As the Snapchat issues keep getting bigger by the moment, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel’s disparaging comments were made in 2015 while dismissing an employee’s concern over the slow growth in India and Spain, citing the app’s usage restricted to only the rich and that Snapchat does not want to expand in these poor countries. Adnan Sami who joined the slew of celebrities who uninstalled the app was severely trolled by the Pakistanis who clearly haven’t forgiven Adnan Sami for his choice of Indian citizenship. Here’s how it boiled down for Adnan Sami.

Adnan Sami extolled India as a progressive democracy!


Twitter post by Adnan Sami -

Just uninstalled #snapchat .. You guys @Snapchat can kiss our 1.2 billion 'poor' progressive bottoms!


Adnan Sami's reply to Pak trolls ('Trolls' in his words) -

Dear Pak trolls,
My tweet wasn't bout U.It ws bout Snapchat.Stop trying 2 jump in & b relevant like a jilted lover!Get over it.Jai Hind!


With so much being said and done over Snapchat CEO’s insensitive comments, we wonder what happens next! In the meantime, Pakistan trollers got a befitting reply from Adnan Sami. We wonder if Snapchat even considers Pakistan for expansion? We highly doubt so!
 
Another tweet by Adnan Sami -

I know ur BS 2 well 2 b intimidated by it! U can fool d world. Not me! I grew up midst d Pak Corridors of Power & Know its Truth btr thn U!
 
We Indians love him not just for his music but also of how much he loves his/our country. Glad he successfully received Indian citizenship. He deserves it.
 
No one cares about Fat boy gone slim.

Considering he resided in India for the last 2 decades its more surprising it took him so long to get permenant residency. Now the only problem is a permanent home in Mumbai since there is discrimination against Muslim names.

Maybe he should change his name as well. :wahab2

Yeah he deserves indian citizenship but people like Om Puri, Aamir Khan were asked to go to Pakistan. If you love Pakistanis who praise india and indians then you shouldn't complain when people from our part of the world praise Pakistan and Pakistanis otherwise you all will look like hypocrites.

Did Hitman ask Om Puri or Amir Khan to go to Pakistan? If yes, then your question is a valid and hard hitting one.
 
Ahh Sami , what a legend , a great singer and son of a former PAF officer to boot. Give the plump champ a replica padma vibhushan and a giant tub of chocolates.
 
Good luck to the guy, hope he is still finding success in India. Last time I saw a picture of him, he looked like a turtle. Large body and scrawny neck. I know I used to mock him over his weight, but now he looks like ill. Someone should tell him it's okay to start eating kebabs again. Quorn ones will do if he wants to keep his new fans happy.
 
I get it that Sami bhai is grateful for the nationality upgrade, but this sucking up is getting too over the top. No one is questioning is patriotism, so he should give it a rest.
 
I do not mind him attaining Indian nationality; it is a personal choice. No big deal. However, he seems like he is trying to prove his patriotism at every opportunity.
 
Sami is true nationalist.If possible Shiv Sena should give him ticket in next election.
 
Indians taking pride in a defector whose only purpose of moving to India is that he can earn money there.


Desi people will always remain small minded :facepalm:
 
Now we know why they give Adnan Sami so much money and speak of him so fondly :danish

Even pakistani muslims applies for citizenship in india forget about minorities hindus and sikhs loll...Have you heard indian muslims applying citizenship for pakistan ? Sania mirza is irrelevant as she was married to shoaib, and she proudly supports india even after her marriage...soja bhai raat hogyi...
 
Ok Indians are uninstalling Snapchat but cant uninstall poverty about which CEO talked.

Adnan is Indian now and he is ours.

Once an Indian, we will support him.:sachin
 
A greater percentage of population in Pakistan owns smartphones than in India.



Checkmate


:salute

The CEO mentioned India as it is one of the biggest emerging markets with extremely high number of potential users he did not mention Pakistan because compared to Indian market Pakistani market is relatively extremely small..

Indians and Pakistanis seem to love mediocrity and get happy by being better than each other in something or the other.. Should aim to compete with the best than compete with each other..
 
All of this over a unverified rumour started by a disgruntled employee. :facepalm:
 
Couldn't care less what this man says as his Music is a waste of time anyway. Pakistan Pa-indabad back to you, Adnan!
 
I have no problem that Adnan decided to become an Indian. I am thankful to them for taking Tarek Fatah from us as well:)) Please give him Indian citizenship too.
 
Adnan Sami have discovered just how easy it is to be over with 90% Indians who happen to be stupid.
 
Overdoing the whole patriotic thing with this snapchat drama.

Lol.
No one trusts a traitor or defector or turncoat, not even their new friends. For if they can turn against their former colleagues, against former friends, the place where they were born, grew up, and where their relatives still live, then what loyalty can they give their new found friends when it's clearly based upon material incentives?

Would you wholeheartedly trust someone who goes badmouthing his previous friends and colleagues?

Does the same apply when someone converts to a new religion and bad mouths his previous religion?
 
Does Sami even have much of a career these days? This could be seen as any publicity is good publicity for a singer who these days looks haggard and unwell. It's clearly got attention for the guy when Indians are rushing to post about his twitter antics on Pakistani boards.
 
maybe its just me but this seems INCREDIBLY childish. Embarrassing almost!

What about pakistanis who tried to troll him, I think he knew how pakistanis were going to react and he used them to gather attention.

Which reinforces my point. He seems to have very little relevance other than his Pakistan connection so it makes sense to use that to show Indian consumers that he's still there. It worked. How do you think it ended up on here?

Because of so called epic reply to pakistani trolls who still follows him on Twitter.

Which again reinforces my point. His only relevance is because of his connection to Pakistan. What has he achieved recently without it?

Anyone should be free to convert to any religion they want. This however does not give them the right to offend their former religion that will still have hundreds of millions of followers. I am sure by doing that they are also going against the basic teachings of their new religion.
 
Adnan Sami: I’ve always been in love with India


It has been a little over a year since Adnan Sami received his Indian citizenship and the singer says it feels like he's begun living a new life now. Adnan, who has been touring the country for various concerts, says, "I feel like I have now become a different person altogether. The emotions are difficult to explain in words. For 17 years, I was living in India, have been in love with the country and have always felt one with it. Yet, I was just a visitor. For instance, whenever I would go to Goa or other cities here, I would look around and think, 'What a beautiful place'. Now, I still visit these cities, look around and get awestruck by its beauty. But then, it strikes me, 'OMG, this place belongs to me, and I belong to it.' Whenever I come back into the country or fly out now, I just have to give my passport and I'm done in two minutes! These small things make me feel like I belong to India. I keep telling people that they should never take their country for granted."

This zealous patriotism is expected. He's got a Muslim name and Pakistani heritage...better be proving his patriotism every second before he gets beaten to death.
