Azan Sami – the highly acclaimed son of Zeba Bakhtiar and Adnan Sami has been making waves in the Pakistani entertainment industry for a few years. His debut album ‘Azaanthealbum’ is all set to release on October 30th. Amidst the promotions for his upcoming album, Azan sat down with Ahmed Ali Butt for his podcast ‘Excuse Me’ for a candid interview.

Azan Sami Discusses His Relationship With His Father

While the host, Ahmed Ali Butt, shared his stance on growing up amidst a separated family and how he used humor as a shield and only it was after marriage he realized that he has compromised himself emotionally. Leading up the conversation, Butt asked Azan about his experience while growing up amidst the divorce of his parents whose personal life became a highlight of mainstream media and news. He asked ‘if he thinks the same happened to him and whether the insecurity of not having something steady in life and a stable home was difficult?’

To his response, Azan started his answer with, ‘My mother did her best, I know that but a father is a father.’  

Sharing his own experience with his separated family Azan mentioned that he thinks both the parents have a designated space in a child’s life and that cannot be replaced. However, while talking about his experience in the entertainment industry, the actor shared his utter disappointment over getting the inside scoop about his father.

‘In the industry, I found this constant questioning whether I meet my father or not. As if, does he own me or not.’

‘For me, he’s my dad whether he is an Indian or Pakistani. I have had people tell me to give a negative statement about him and India since that would benefit me in the long run.’

Adding, ‘I have not been raised to speak ill of my parents.’

Later in the interview, Azan shared his stance on being born with a silver spoon and having a flag of nepotism above his head, Azan said that he doesn’t care about he people perceive him and it certainly doesn’t bother him at all.

‘I will only care if someone talks about my work.’ He said.

Further adding, ‘If there’s a song of my father that has ever played at a wedding, I could never be able to compete with and I won’t ever want to.’

While talking about his father’s music he mentioned that he has been lately using his father’s codes and melodies since that is his legacy and as long as he can sing his father’s songs decently there’s no harm in singing them.

Australia’s Glenn Maxwell, long-awaited and much-anticipated, delivered a blitzkrieg century at the ICC World Cup 2023. The 35-year-old maestro unleashed a whirlwind innings, crafting the fastest-ever World Cup century in just 40 balls, a display of breathtaking strokeplay that left fans in awe.

This scintillating performance propelled Australia to a commanding total of 399 for 8 against the Netherlands at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday, firmly imprinting Maxwell’s name in the tournament’s annals.

Despite an unimposing run of scores (15, 3, 31*, 0) in previous matches, Maxwell’s demeanor did not betray a hint of pressure as he took center stage for this pivotal encounter. His last outing against Pakistan had invited scrutiny, particularly for his dismissal, as he was thrust into the pivotal No.3 slot after openers Mitchell Marsh and David Warner’s centuries. The strategy was explicit – to launch a ferocious assault from the get-go.

Criticism, notably from renowned Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, had cast a shadow on Maxwell’s approach. On the pre-match show on Star Sports, Gavaskar did not mince words, labeling the Australian all-rounder as ‘careless’, pointing to his shot selection.

“It’s a matter of ego. I think he was happy at RCB when he was given the No.3 slot. He felt he was important, he needed to make a contribution in every match. Here he is batting at 5, 6, and 7. In cricket, there is a thin line between carefree and careless. He has been on the careless side (in this World Cup) more. That first-ball dismissal against Pakistan, what kind of a shot was that? So clearly, (he was) careless and not carefree,” Gavaskar expressed.

Maxwell was 34*(20) at the end of 45th over, then:

1, 4, 6, 0, 1, 2, 6, 0, 6, 0, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 1, 4, 0 and dismissed for 106(44) at the 50th over.

Little could Gavaskar have foreseen the seismic shift in Maxwell’s performance that would unfold just hours later. Maxwell strode onto the field during the 39th over, just after Australia lost the wicket of Josh Inglish. Yet, the formidable partnership between David Warner and Steve Smith had already charted Australia’s course to dominance, with the score at 266/4 and 11 overs still to be played.

Maxwell’s symphony of destruction concluded at an astonishing 106 off a mere 44 balls, punctuated by eight towering sixes and nine crisply struck boundaries. “Probably just cleared my head a bit to just go out and play. The situation when Davey and Greeny got out, I had to take it deep a little bit. Patty was good as well. Even if they are banging it into the wicket, I feel I have enough time to go after it. And when they are bowling quick, my hands have to be faster. Just generally try to get it over the infield,” Maxwell eloquently reflected after the monumental feat.
