Friday morning, Adnan Sami's wife Sabah lodged a police complaint against him accusing him of ill-treatment.
Trouble, says a close friend of Adnan, has been brewing for some time between Adnan and his wife, "It started after Adnan's reunion with son Azaan. When Sami's son (from his first wife, Zeba) arrived in Mumbai to spend Christmas with his father, Sabah left for her parents' home in Dubai. She felt insecure about the Azaan's presence in her husband's life. This, even though the singer accepted her son, Abdullah, from her earlier marriage."
Azaan, in fact took it upon himself to win his stepmother's love. Says the source, "Azaan accompanied Adnan for a concert in Dubai and there tried to win his stepmom over with flowers and chocolates. Sabah melted. But not for long."
The real trouble began when Sabah returned to Mumbai and Adnan's ailing father had to be hospitalised in Mumbai. Says the source, "Sabah felt neglected because Adnan was giving his father all his time. Apparently, when Adnan's father was hospitalised she refused to let his mother stay in their house and insisted she check into a hotel. Adnan was distraught. When his mother heard this, she said she's stay in the hospital with her husband."
