Singer and composer Adnan Sami recently opened up about a memorable incident involving Shah Rukh Khan during a commercial shoot in Venice, where Kareena Kapoor was also part of the project. Known for his vibrant personality and outspoken views, Sami reflected on how a sudden shift in the weather left the crew unprepared — and how SRK stepped in with an unexpected and thoughtful act.
The shoot was originally planned for summer, and all members of the crew, including Sami, had packed accordingly. Adnan, in particular, arrived in Venice with only his usual Hawaiian shirts and Bermudas. However, the weather took a drastic turn, plunging into an unexpected cold spell with rain and strong winds — conditions that caught the team off guard.
Shah Rukh Khan Steps In
Recounting the incident in a chat with Bollywood Bubble, Sami said he had no warm clothes on hand. Shah Rukh, who was not just acting in the commercial but also producing it, noticed Sami’s summer attire and expressed concern. Seeing how jet-lagged and tired Adnan was after nearly a day and a half of travel, Shah Rukh asked if he had any winter wear. When Adnan admitted he didn’t, he decided to rest, unaware of what was to come next.
While Sami slept, Shah Rukh went shopping on his own to get him warm clothing. Adnan recalled being touched when SRK came to his room later and handed over jackets, remarking on the cold weather outside. What struck Adnan the most was that Shah Rukh had taken the time to not only buy the clothes himself but also managed to find the right sizes, which, as Sami pointed out, wasn’t an easy task. He described the gesture as incredibly sweet and thoughtful, adding that Shah Rukh didn’t need to do it, but the fact that he did spoke volumes about his character.
A Statement of Self-Acceptance
During the interview, Adnan also commented on his wardrobe choice at the time, recalling that the colourful Hawaiian shirts had become part of his style statement. He mentioned that even though his wife disliked them, he embraced the look. He said that his fashion sense reflected his attitude toward life and body positivity — a defiant celebration of self without shame.
When questioned about the shirt in the iconic photograph with SRK and Kareena, Sami joked that he had no regrets. “I was fat, and I said I’m going to make noise about it,” he shared, adding that he wore those shirts with pride and humour, often responding to size-related questions with, “I eat a lot and enjoy it.”
