On Thursday morning after the stories about the ugly pow-wow between Adnan's dharma patni and Pooja Bedi appeared, Adnan Sami received his first death threat.
And Adnan has spoken to the Pakistani prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani about the threats.
"I had to, " confesses Adnan. "He's an old family friend. I know him from the time he was the speaker of the Pakistani assembly.And I've informed the Pak President Asif Zardari also.
They had to know about the threats because if something happens to me they should know whom to point a finger at. If I am harmed it would become an international issue and I don't want the wrong people to be accused. Agar hoga to wahan par ungli lagao."
Both Pakistan's President and Prime Minister have ensured Adnan all support and co-operation. "Not just them. I've also approached the Indian Home Ministry and the highest authorities have assured me the optimum co-operation. The support I've received during the time of my stress from outside and inside Bollywood is overwhelming."
Speaking reluctantly on the horrific intimidation Adnan harassed beyond endurance and on the brink of a breakdown said, "The first call came at around 9.30 am on Thursday followed by one every half hour.
It was very clear in its intention. The person on the other end warned me to layoff someone or face the consequences. But I didn't act intimidated at all.
The caller clearly named the person on whose behalf he was calling. I was horrified and appalled beyond words. Can anyone normal or sane stoop so low?"
Adnan immediately informed the Mumbai authorities that his life is in danger. "They've very kindly beefed up my security. The number of security personnel around me has gone up drastically. But I'm not feeling safe any longer. I want people to know who's to blame if something happens to me."
Adnan has informed key persons in his life about the threats and whom to hold responsible if something were to happen to him. "I feel everyone close to me is now in danger.
So I've decided that they should all stay as far away as possible from the house.My mother who was in Islamabad for her father's funeral is back in the house to look after my father. But I'm asking my entire family and friends to be nowhere near me. My mom won't travel anhywhere with me.
I'd never be able to forgive myself they came to any harm. My son Azaan bechara he came to know and insisted he was coming over right away. He was distraught.
No chance in hell I'd leave him vulnerable to any attack. And the person getting these calls made would happily hurt my son.Azaan threatens to catch the next flight to Mumbai."
Adnan says the caller makes it clear on whose behalf the calls are being made.
"No bumper prizes for guessing who, " he chuckles. "I've told them, "Jo bhi karna hai kar lo.'
Says Adnan, "I'm in and out of court so much now, it's become a way of life. Now with these death threats the law and the legal system are my best friends. I've begun to feel so isolated from all my friends.
The other day I recorded a song with A R Rahman. Everyone was being polite but distant. They didn't know what to say to me until I broke the ice by saying, ‘Sorry I'm half an hour late, guys. I was just dealing with a troublesome wife in court.' They burst out laughing."
Adnan's lawyers now have a written a document from him which would be opened in case he's harmed. "I know exactly whom to blame if anything happens to me. And I also know which political party in Mumbai is abetting this person."
