Arijit Singh is set to tune into Bigg Boss 20 for the first time, and the reason is none other than his former Fame Gurukul co-contestant Qazi Touqeer. The singer recently took to X to show his support for Qazi, calling him his “Rockstar” and revealing that his presence in the reality show has finally given him a reason to watch it.
Qazi Touqeer gets a special shoutout
Bigg Boss 20 has been generating considerable buzz since its premiere, with contestants from different walks of life entering the house. Among them is Qazi Touqeer, who has been making his presence felt with his energetic personality and entertaining antics. His catchphrase, “I’m a Rockstar baby, aau!”, has also become a talking point among viewers and social media users.
Amid the growing attention around Qazi, Arijit shared a special message for the contestant. The two singers go back nearly two decades, having participated together in the 2005 singing reality show Fame Gurukul. Their association has now come full circle, with Arijit cheering for Qazi as he takes on one of television’s most talked-about reality shows.
Taking to X, Arijit wrote, “I will have to watch BIG BOSS for the first time in my life cz Apna Rockstar QAZI hai udhar.”
The post quickly highlighted the long-standing connection between the two singers. While Arijit has stayed away from reality television as a viewer, Qazi’s participation appears to have changed that. His message also reflects the camaraderie they continue to share years after their Fame Gurukul days.
All about Bigg Boss 20
Qazi is among the contestants competing for the Bigg Boss 20 trophy this season. The lineup includes Kanika Mann, Aasif Khan, Mary Kom, Isha Rikhi, Rhiti Tiwari, Amrapali Dubey, Love Gill, Harsh Machare aka Yung DSA, Tanmay Singh aka ScoutOP, Arishfa Khan, Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu, Aman Gandhi and Uditi Singh.
Salman Khan has returned as the host of the latest season, which comes with the theme âTathastu’. Under the new concept, contestants have two opportunities to survive in the Bigg Boss house.
With Qazi already making an impression, Arijit’s public show of support adds another layer of interest to his Bigg Boss journey. For the singer, however, watching the show seems to be less about the reality TV drama and more about cheering for an old friend and fellow musician.
