Summary
- Qazi Touqeer won Fame Gurukul in 2005, gaining fame.
- He was a contestant alongside future star Arijit Singh.
- After Fame Gurukul, he reappeared in the 'Afghan Jalebi' music video.
Qazi Touqeer, who captured national attention by winning Fame Gurukul in 2005, is returning to the reality television scene. He will be a contestant on Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 20, marking his return to the genre nearly two decades after his initial win.
Touqeer became a household name with Fame Gurukul, a singing competition based on the international Fame Academy format. Hailing from Srinagar, his popularity and consistent public votes propelled him to victory alongside Ruprekha Banerjee. Notably, a young Arijit Singh, who would later achieve massive success as a playback singer, was also a contestant in the same season.
Following his Fame Gurukul triumph, Touqeer and Banerjee released the album 'Yeh Pal'. Touqeer also recorded individual tracks and harbored acting aspirations, with a planned debut in the film 'Take Off' that never materialized. Years later, he made a musical appearance in the video for the song 'Afghan Jalebi' from the 2015 film Phantom.
Now, over twenty years since his initial rise to fame, Qazi Touqeer is entering the Bigg Boss 20 house. This new reality show journey offers a different challenge, allowing viewers to see his personality and potentially introduce him to a new generation.
