Singer Adnan Sami's Home in Mumbai: Interior with Home Theater and Recording Room

The famous singer Adnan Sami, who left Pakistan and obtained Indian citizenship, now resides in Mumbai. His home is distinct from the residences of other celebrities and was featured in a vlog by Farha Khan.

The living room immediately gives off a royal atmosphere: it features cream velvet sofas, expensive Persian carpets on the floor, and family photos on the walls. Sunlight floods the space, lending it a luxurious look that combines simplicity and nobility.

In the center of the room stands a gleaming black grand piano, which Adnan says is an integral part of his life. The walls are decorated with original and authentic vinyl records of his hit songs, as if showcasing his creative history. In the corner are statues of Beethoven and Mozart, along with vintage clocks, emphasizing Adnan's deep respect for music. He mentioned acquiring these items for millions of rupees at auctions, including recordings such as 'Alam Ara' from early Indian films, as well as English-language records by Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

The third corner of the house is a true hall of fame. A large collage of photographs of personalities like Amitabh Bachchan and Dilip Kumar is displayed on the wall, alongside awards, certificates, and handwritten musical scores. A wooden cabinet also holds numerous mementos, indicating that Adnan Sami's home is a kind of album of his life journey.

In Adnan Sami's wooden chest, many antique silver items are displayed, including silver pitchers, cups, tea sets, and peacock-shaped artifacts, creating the impression of a royal mansion collection.

In addition to the antique collection, the singer's home houses many unique musical artifacts. Particular attention is drawn to a frame containing a manuscript of Beethoven, written by the composer himself. Adnan noted that this manuscript by the German composer is extremely valuable to him.

The house also has a magnificent cinema hall with a private Dolby sound system. The decor of this home theater is very exquisite; it stores old record players and acoustic systems. Among the interesting details are colorful cushions featuring posters of old Indian films, one of which depicts Gabbar Singh from the film 'Sholay'.

Adnan Sami's office is also decorated in a luxurious and unique style, reminiscent of a senior executive's study. In addition to his personal theater-office, the house also features a dedicated recording room, which was designed as a tribute to music.

This initiative offers the public an early opportunity to familiarize themselves with the concepts that will shape the museum before its official opening on December 11th.

The program, running throughout September, brings together artists, curators, and visitors at venues such as Manarat Al Saadiyat and Louvre Abu Dhabi. Among the events offering a preview of future happenings are the following three.

From September 25th to October 22nd, Manarat Al Saadiyat will host an interactive installation titled Network of Answers.

Registration is not required to participate.

From September 25th to 27th, the same location will host the event Art Appears: Chant Avedissian. This is a series of temporary lectures, workshops, and interactive activities dedicated to the life and legacy of the late Egyptian artist, whose works reinterpreted cultural symbols and the nation's collective memory through a modern lens.

Concluding the September program, artist Rashid Karahi will join curator Abdelkader Damani at Louvre Abu Dhabi on September 29th to discuss the exhibition Abstractions: A Journey Between Islamic and Contemporary Art. This discussion explores abstraction as a universal language between cultures, drawing upon calligraphy, geometry, and contemporary practice.

The museum announced that additional lectures, activations, and public engagement initiatives across the UAE will be announced after the conclusion of the September program as part of a broader calendar leading up to the opening.

Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, designed by architect Frank Gehry and located in the Saadiyat Cultural District, will cover an area of 11,600 square meters, including 28 galleries, as well as 23,000 square meters of open exhibition space.

Prime Video cancels series 'Ride or Die' after first season

The series 'Ride or Die,' which premiered in June, has been canceled by Prime Video after only one season. The project stars Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham, who also serves as an executive producer.

The plot of the series centers on the friendship between best friends Debbie Clayborne (played by Spencer) and Judith Burton (played by Waddingham), who believe they know everything about each other. This changes when Debbie discovers that Judith is an international assassin.

After the appearance of a mysterious figure from the past and a failed assassination attempt, the friends are forced to flee together. Their journey takes them across Europe, where they try to evade pursuit by law enforcement, highly skilled assassins, and dangerous criminals.

According to a report from Deadline, Prime Video decided not to renew the series for a second season. Currently, there is no information on whether 'Ride or Die' can be acquired by another streaming platform.

Following the cancellation announcement, Octavia Spencer shared her thoughts on social media. She expressed gratitude to the teams that worked on the series and shared her impressions of the production process. Spencer wrote: 'I hope that every creative person receives the incredible experience I gained bringing this project to life with the unwavering support of Skydance/Paramount over these three years.'

Furthermore, she thanked Matt Tunell, Dana, Shelly, and Blair, as well as Barbara and Double Dream. She added: 'Projects like these should not be the exception; they should be the rule!' Spencer also thanked the viewers who empathized with Debbie and Judith, writing: 'To all women who felt seen, who laughed out loud, who lived openly with Debbie and Judith, thank you.'

In addition to Spencer and Waddingham, the cast includes Ed Crane as Billy, Kalam Lynch as Sam, Savannah Stein as Quinn, and Jamie Parker as David. Jackie Edo plays Jax, Sylvia Hoeks plays Anna, and Bill Nighy plays the Director.
