Qazi Touqeer’s journey on Bigg Boss 20
Qazi, who shot to fame after winning the reality singing competition Fame Gurukul in 2005 alongside Ruprekha Banerjee, has been among the contestants attracting attention this season. The Kashmiri singer has also earned praise from host Salman Khan for the way he has handled some of the tense situations inside the house.
Qazi’s health update comes soon after Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari, was eliminated from Bigg Boss 20 in a mid-week eviction. The eviction followed a decision by captaincy contenders Mahhi Vij, Yung DSA and Uditi Singh, who collectively felt that Rhiti had contributed the least among the nominated contestants. Her departure came after a tense stretch in the house, including a heated diss battle involving Qazi and Uditi.
