“When I was obese, I reached a point where I was about to meet death, and I lost weight to restart my life. When Baba (my father) passed away, I was emotionally choked, but then I also found my soulmate to restart my peaceful married life”, Sami stated in a recent interview.
With the successful weight loss, a film debut on its way and being blessed with a daughter, Sami is definitely living the best phase of his life.
Medina, Sami’s daughter, was born to him and wife Roya, earlier this year.
Speaking about his daughter, Sami got emotional and said, “Yes, she is my heartbeat and I cannot thank God enough for this angel. I think she has got the best of both of us. She is roly-poly and is a very happy child like I was as a kid. But her eyes are deep green, like Roya’s. Suddenly, I have discovered an ocean of love in my heart for her I never knew it existed.”
Having seen his wife go through pregnancy, Sami has a new look and appreciation for women.
“I genuinely believe that physically and emotionally, women are far stronger than men. The amount of pain they have to endure for a childbirth, a man cannot take an ounce of it. A toothache or a stomach upset is the end of our world at times,” he confessed.
And he wants his daughter to grow up to be an independent woman. “I want my daughter to grow up with a sense of independence, with a strong emotionally secure mind and a tremendous amount of self-worth. All these come from education. So, that will be the foundation of her upbringing. I would want her to be well-versed with the world around us, have an opinion on everything and be pro-active about anything that is wrong.”
He added, “It is easy to criticise a situation, but the visionary always finds a solution. I want her to contribute to the solution.”
The singer is currently working on his debut film, a romantic musical adventure titled Afghan.
