Singer Arijit Singh says he plans to watch Bigg Boss 20 for the first time because of his “rockstar” friend and contestant Qazi Touqeer. Multiple outlets report that Arijit publicly expressed support for Qazi and framed his Bigg Boss viewing as a personal reason to tune in.

Reports also note that Qazi Touqeer has drawn attention since Bigg Boss 20 kicked off, with clips of his behavior and catchphrases circulating on social media. NDTV and India Today focus on Arijit’s decision to watch the show first time, while Free Press Journal adds context about the two performers’ earlier connection on Fame Gurukul in 2005.

The articles collectively place Qazi among the season’s contestants competing for the trophy. They also reference Bigg Boss 20’s broader setup, including Salman Khan’s return as host and the season’s “Tathastu” theme, described as offering contestants two chances to stay in the house.
