Adnan Sami recalls settling the final shots for 'Kabhi Nahi' with Amitabh Bachchan through a coin flip
Mumbai, July 16
Singer Adnan Sami took a trip down memory lane as he recalled working with Amitabh Bachchan on the music video for 'Kabhi Nahi.'
Sharing a nostalgic throwback, he revealed that the team often settled debates over the final shots with a coin flip during the editing process. On Thursday, Adnan took to his X handle (formerly Twitter) to share a throwback picture with Amitabh Bachchan from the music video of their song 'Kabhi Nahi.'
For the caption, Adnan wrote, "#Throwback to a fun capture with Amit ji during the filming of our song 'Kabhi Nahi.' Each shot that we took for every scene was unique and wonderful & had its own flavour. We enjoyed it so much that it reflected in our performances. However, during the editing, it was so difficult to choose which shot to keep in the final music video that at times, we all would argue endlessly and finally settle the matter with a flip of a coin!"
In the photo, Adnan and Amitabh could be seen twinning in black outfits. The song "Kabhi Nahi" from Adnan Sami's iconic album "Tera Chehra" featured Amitabh Bachchan, who lent his vocals and appeared in the music video alongside the singer. The song was released on October 7, 2002.
Adnan Sami's album 'Tera Chehra' remains one of his most celebrated musical works, known for its soulful compositions and emotional depth. The title track, 'Tera Chehra,' became a major success and featured actors Rani Mukerji and Raveena Tandon in its music video.
Earlier in March, Adnan Sami had shared nostalgic photographs from Holi celebrations with the 'Sholay' actor. In his post, the singer had included pictures of the duo covered in colours and dancing together at what appeared to be a Holi gathering. The post was captioned "HAPPY HOLI"!! Here's a #throwback I found from my archives many Holis ago with @amitabhbachchan ji. #adnansami #amitabhbachchan #holi."

Love this! 🎶 Adnan Sami and Amitabh Bachchan together—what a combo! The coin flip story is hilarious, but also shows how much care went into the song. "Tera Chehra" is a masterpiece, and this video is iconic. Wish we had more of such organic collaborations today instead of all the marketing gimmicks. Nostalgia hits hard! 😊
This is such a wholesome memory! 🥹 Amitabh Bachchan's presence in any frame is magical, and Adnan's music is soulful. The coin flip deciding the final shot is so relatable for creative folks—sometimes you just need a little luck! "Kabhi Nahi" still gives me chills. Thank you for sharing this, Adnan!
Great story, but honestly, it feels a bit odd to see Adnan Sami reminiscing about Bollywood when he's known for his own music. The coin flip thing is cute, but I wish there was more substance—like why this song mattered beyond the celebrity cameo. Still, respect for the Nostalgia. "Tera Chehra" is definitely a classic.
Uff, nostalgia overload! 😭 That song was my college anthem. Amitabh Bachchan and Adnan Sami in black outfits? Iconic! The coin flip story is so adorable—shows how passionate everyone was. Bollywood needs more such genuine moments. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! ❤️
