Cinema VinesBigg Boss 20, which began last week under the charismatic guidance of host Salman Khan, has already produced a buzzworthy moment with singer Qazi Touqeer, a former contestant from the 2005 reality show Fame Gurukul. Within days of the show’s launch, Qazi’s energetic performances and outspoken personality captured the attention of viewers, turning his clips into viral sensations. The Kashmiri singer’s antics—ranging from singing in the house to feuding with other contestants—have left many fans on the edge of their seats, and his catchphrase “I’m a Rockstar baby, aau!” has become a trending line on social media.
Qazi’s rise to prominence has not gone unnoticed by his old reality‑TV companion, Arijit Singh. The Bollywood playback legend, who once shared the Fame Gurukul stage with Qazi, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that he would be watching Bigg Boss for the first time in his life. In a post that read, “I will have to watch BIG BOSS for the first time in my life cz Apna Rockstar QAZI hai udhar (Our Qazi is in the house),” Arijit expressed his excitement and support for the singer’s new venture.
While Qazi has become one of the most noticeable personalities in the house, his behavior has also sparked comparisons to earlier contestants. He often places himself at the center of conversations and boasts about his achievements, a trait reminiscent of Tanya Mittal. In one live‑feed clip, Qazi boasted about a “coffee tanki” he built at home in Kashmir, claiming it was a special water tank for his love of coffee. In another, he declared himself a commando capable of doing 20 push‑ups in five minutes, further fueling the drama.
The singer’s most recent stunt involved a supernatural scare that disrupted the housemates’ sleep. While everyone was asleep, Qazi pretended to have seen something supernatural, visibly reacting to the imagined event. He also made an unusual claim to fellow contestant Arishfa, stating, “Main normal insaan nahi hoon. Tum socho main 3 din mein 1 ghanta soya hoon fir bhi energetic hoon,” meaning he had slept only one hour in three days yet remained energetic.
Qazi Touqeer first entered the national spotlight in 2005 when he won Fame Gurukul alongside Ruprekha Banerjee, cementing his status as one of India’s most recognizable reality‑TV figures. His return to the spotlight through Bigg Boss 20, coupled with the endorsement of a star like Arijit Singh, has set the stage for a season full of drama, music, and unexpected twists.
