The actor once told us that at his birth his parents had named him Samar, and his name was later changed to Samir to save him from
bullies.
"As Samar and Summer, sound the
same, kids in my school would tease me whenever I passed by, saying, 'it's very hot." I'd often come home crying." He says that his concerned mother then went to the Principal and got his name changed to Samir in the school register. Well, for this mommy her son's tears sure meant a lot.
