Cinema VinesWhen Bigg Boss 20 opened last week, host Salman Khan introduced the 16 contestants and immediately spotlighted one of them: singer Qazi Touqeer, who rose to instant fame inside the house for his dramatic mood swings and theatrical antics. Clips of the Kashmiri performer singing, feuding with other housemates and delivering out‑of‑the‑box lines have flooded social media, turning his catchphrase “I’m a Rockstar baby, aau!” into a viral meme.
During the first Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman praised Qazi for dominating the opening week and singled out his entertaining persona. “There may be many stars in this house, but there’s only one rockstar, and that’s Qazi Touqeer,” Salman told the camera. “All week you’ve been walking around saying ‘Owww!’ Teach me too: ‘I am a rockstar, baby.’” He then challenged the rest of the contestants to perform Qazi’s signature dance move, which the housemates happily obliged, while Salman jokingly admitted the step was difficult for him.
Qazi’s presence in the house has been marked by a series of bold claims that echo the self‑promoting style of former contestant Tanya Mittal. In one live‑feed clip he told a group of contestants that he had built a special “coffee tanki” at his home in Kashmir because he loves coffee. In another, he boasted that he could do 20 push‑ups in five minutes and that he was a commando. He also told Arishfa that he was not a normal person, having slept only one hour in three days yet still feeling energetic.
The Kashmiri singer first entered the national spotlight in 2005 after winning the reality singing show Fame Gurukul alongside Ruprekha Banerjee. Since then he has become a familiar face on Indian reality television. Qazi’s antics on Bigg Boss 20 continue to captivate viewers, while Salman’s endorsement has only amplified his status as the house’s self‑declared rockstar.
