Qazi Touqeer talks about his love for Arijit Singh
Qazi and Arijit both participated in the reality singing show Fame Gurukul. They have remained close friends since then. Qazi talked about his admiration for Arijit and said, “Bro, I’m telling you. That guy is my life, That guy is my life. Uska fighting spirit crazy hai. Woh 8 ghante tak nahi thakta (He doesn’t get tired for 8 hours) He sits down with his sitar. Shuru jab kiya usne toh time ka kuch pata nahi chal raha hai. Saat ghanta, chhe ghanta, constant. Usi cheez mein khoya hua hai (As soon as he starts, he gets completely lost and loses track of time. Six, seven hours constantly. He’s completely engrossed in the same thing). I’m passionate about clothes. What does he enjoy? The process. His music.”
Earlier, Arijit Singh took to X and shared a tweet supporting Qazi. He wrote, “I will have to watch BIG BOSS for the first time in my life because Apna Rockstar QAZI hai udhar (Our Qazu is in the house).”
