J&K CM Backs Bigg Boss Hopeful Qazi Touqeer

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed his support for Qazi Touqeer, a contestant on Bigg Boss 20. Abdullah, who admits to not regularly watching the show, acknowledged Touqeer's singing abilities, recalling his performances at concerts and his surprise win in the 2005 'Fame Gurukul' competition. He indicated he would vote for Touqeer, especially if the show relies on public voting. Abdullah humorously noted that a Bigg Boss win would be another significant achievement for Jammu and Kashmir, following their Ranji Trophy victory.

Qazi Touqeer's appearance on Bigg Boss 20 marks his return to television after nearly 21 years. He first gained prominence in 2005 alongside Ruprekha Banerjee by winning 'Fame Gurukul', a singing reality show that also featured Arijit Singh. Touqeer's current participation has brought him back into public attention, with discussions surrounding his gameplay, interactions with fellow contestants, and prospects for reaching the finale. The show, hosted by Salman Khan, premiered on September 6 and airs on Colors TV, with episodes also available on JioHotstar. Following Aasif Khan's recent eviction, several contestants remain in contention for the trophy.
