Adnan Sami schools Rajni Vidadala as she attempts to educate him on his ‘separatist’ attitude statement to Jagan Mohan Reddy

Singer Adnan Sami has reacted angrily to Andhra Pradesh politician Rajni Vidadala’s attempt to educate him on his ‘separatist’ attitude statement to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy. Reddy had thanked the RRR team on the Golden Globe triumph, noting that the ‘Telugu flag was flying high’. Adnan Sami replied, adding that it was the ‘Indian flag’ and this statement was ‘separatist’. Vidadala intervened in the quarrel, accusing the singer of conflating pride and separatist. She stated, “Rather than overthinking on Twitter, maybe you should work towards getting India another Golden Globe.”

Adnan Sami tweeted to her, “Whilst exhibiting pride of Origin, it is not beneath the dignity of a senior statesman such as a Chief Minister to share the pride of this achievement with his Nation INDIA which this State comes under & in the name of which this Telugu film is being recognised abroad!

RRR received the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu. While congratulations were pouring in from all directions, Reddy wrote, “The #Telugu flag is flying high! On behalf of all of #AndhraPradesh, I congratulate @mmkeeravaani, @ssrajamouli, @tarak9999, @AlwaysRamCharan and the entire team of @RRRMovie. We are incredibly proud of you! #GoldenGlobes2023.”

Adnan Sami triggered the controversy by saying, “Telugu flag? You mean INDIAN flag right? We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country…Especially internationally, we are one country! This ‘separatist’ attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you…Jai HIND!”S Rajiv Krishna, a YSRC spokeswoman, claimed that Reddy’s tweet was posted in joy since many persons linked with the RRR film are Telugu.“Does not preclude our love for India above all else– you don’t need to teach us patriotism,” Rajiv Krishna tweeted.

Adnan Sami again tweeted, “When Satyajit Ray ji won an Honorary Oscar in 1991, was only Bengal proud of that achievement or did entire India have a right to be proud? Did the CM of Bengal at that time, Sri Jyoti Basu ji declare it as only a Bengali achievement? No! It was a national moment of pride!” Adnan Sami was trolled with many saying that he was once a Pakistani and had spent 18 years trying to get Indian citizenship.
