'I want our children to not have bitter memories about this situation': Adnan Sami on coronavirus lockdown
While everyone is busy talking about the effects of coronavirus on the elderly, singer Adnan Sami thinks that it is equally important to talk about the mental and physical well-being of young children. Adnan says it is the reason why he is being "extra careful and sensitive" in dealing with his three-year-old daughter, Medina, who, like many other kids, is locked inside the house for the past two months. 

Speaking about the same, in a recent interview, Adnan said, "We don’t really talk about children, especially young ones. They watch videos online and see kids playing outside and they wonder why they can’t. In this age, they’ve got an abundance of energy, they need to burn it, run and play. But they’re not able to go out and are too little to understand what’s happening. Each time Medina says she wants to go out we immediately distract her." 

The 46-year-old says that he and his wife, Roya, are making sure that Medina doesn’t feel any kind of deprivation. "Ye jo hai yeh guzaar jayegi, and will become a memory. I want our children, who are too young right now, to not have bitter memories about this situation. In these limited circumstances, I’m trying to give Medina as much of a normal and healthy existence as humanly possible. I don’t want her to live in fear and paranoia," he said. 

Besides her daughter, Adnan said that he has been utilising this time "composing and writing". "You can’t give finesse to your creativity if you’re always in the hustle-bustle mode. I’ve been doing that plus I’ve been valuing every moment with my family," he said.
