Cinema VinesThe latest season of Bigg Boss, Bigg Boss 20, began last week with a house full of drama, featuring 16 contestants under the return of Salman Khan as host. From the very first day, the housemates opened up about their personal journeys and quickly found themselves in heated verbal clashes. Amid the chaos, singer Qazi Touqeer has emerged as a viral personality, drawing comparisons to former contestant Shalin Bhanot.
Qazi’s recent altercation with Yung DSA reminded many viewers of Shalin Bhanot’s own viral showdown with MC Stan during his stint in season 16. Social media users began labeling Qazi as the “Shalin of this season,” a comparison that even reached Shalin himself. He took to his Instagram Stories to express his frustration, saying, “Whenever there is a new season of Bigg Boss, how does my name come up? I was in Bigg Boss season 16. But in every season my name is linked somehow. Har ek season mei mujhe kisi na kisi se compare karte hai. Why does that happen I do not know.” He added, “Even in Season 18, everyone was talking about me, and in Season 19 too. Now also they are saying someone else is Shalin. I am one and only! Please stop comparing me.”
Shalin was known for his larger‑than‑life behaviour and dramatic reactions to even minor situations in the house. Qazi has shown a similar flair from the first episode, teasing fellow contestant Arishfa and later attempting to downplay Yung DSA’s mistake. The confrontation escalated into a full‑blown argument, with Qazi telling the rapper, “baap pe mat jana” (don’t bring my father in between). Qazi’s tendency to centre conversations around himself and boast about his achievements has reminded viewers of other outspoken housemates like Tanya Mittal.
In a live‑feed clip, Qazi was seen sharing that he has built a special “coffee tanki” at his home in Kashmir, a water‑tank‑like structure because he loves coffee. In another social media clip, he claimed he is a commando and can do 20 push‑ups in five minutes. These moments have amplified his notoriety, making him one of the most noticeable personalities in the house this season.
Bigg Boss 20 is airing on Colors TV and can be streamed online. The show continues to captivate audiences with its mix of drama, conflict and unexpected alliances, while fans of Shalin Bhanot and Qazi Touqeer alike keep debating who truly deserves the title of the season’s most memorable contestant.
