 ADNAN SAMIHe has shed some weight off his back, 109 kg to be precise. The singer who once weighed nearly 200 kg is back from a weight loss programme in the US with a trim look and a new album Tere Bina. Q. What was your last big meal before the dieting began? A. I ate a 32-ounce steak with mashed potatoes, loaded with gravy and some tiramisu. That was my Last Supper. Q. Things you’ve been able to do after a long time: A. Simple things like sleeping on my back and travelling without a wheel-chair. Q. What is your fitness philosophy? A. I ask myself if I want the momentary joy of eating biryani or a lifetime of bliss—I choose life. Q. What next? A. Another 22 kg to lose, and then I’m going to treat myself to a trip to New York. -Compiled by Kimi Dangor |
