Adnan Sami's pretty new wife Roya Faryabi has put him on a strict diet. "Jee, bahut zaroori hai apni sehat ka khayal rakhna, " says the German lady in shuddh Hindi. She laughs at this reporter's surprise at her chaste Hindi.

"Jee main bahut achchi Hindi bol leti hoon. I know eight languages, actually nine, if you count Czech, which I know a smattering of. My Hindi was not that good until I married Adnan. He has been helping me improve my Hindi and Urdu."

Singer-composer Sami returned to Mumbai last week with Faryabi, who is said to be expecting their first child.

The Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao singer may have lost several kilos, but his bride doesn't think it's enough.

"I'm into martial arts and fitness, and I don't think Adnan qualifies as fit. Not yet, " she says.

Sami can't stop gushing about his new bride: "In Roya, I've discovered my true companion. And why only one baby? I want to have at least half a dozen children with her."

Rumour had it
Mention the rumours about him leaving the city for good, and the singer-composer gets irritated.

"Where would I go from Mumbai? This is my home. Jeena yahan marna yahan. I know rumours were being spread about me settling in Islamabad. We all know who spread those rumours."

In fact, Sami has plans to apply for Indian citizenship for Faryabi as well. Azaan, his son from first wife Zeba Bakhtiar, is also planning to make Mumbai his home to pursue a career in music.

Sami may be gung-ho about his third marriage but the legal battle with his second wife rages on. "I'd feel something is seriously amiss when my court and police station visits stop.

The Oshiwara Police Station has become my sasuraal. I'm going to suggest they relocate their chowki to my residence. It would make life simpler, " he says, tongue firmly in cheek.
