Shilpa Shetty drags sick Adnan Sami out of hospital bed

By Subhash K. Jha, Mumbai, Nov 24 : Adnan Sami, who was in hospital last week due to gall bladder problems had a surprise visitor. It was none other than actress Shilpa Shetty who had come to invite him for her wedding reception Tuesday.

"I don't care how many stones you have inside you. Just make sure you're there on Tuesday," Shilpa said before Adnan could react.

The singer says that he thought he was hallucinating.

"Why would the bewitching Shilpa suddenly show up in my room? Only later did I get to know her father was in the same hospital for suspected malaria. But it was very sweet of Shilpa to invite me," the singer told IANS.

Shilpa tied the knot with London-based businessman Raj Kundra Sunday in Maharashtra's famous hill station Khandala. Their wedding reception is taking place here.

"I owe it to her, never mind the pain. I've gotten used to it," said Adnan.

For the singer besieged by domestic crises for the last one year, the gall-bladder surgery has been the last straw.

"It was red-hot dej� vu. I was back at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital where I had spent so much of my time earlier this year nursing my father. It was eerie. My mom, brother and son looked after me," he said.

Adnan's music recordings had to be cancelled last week. "I had been ignoring the growing pain. I paid for it," he said.
