Singer-songwriter Arijit Singh has found himself a very personal reason to watch Bigg Boss. His old Fame Gurukul friend Qazi Touqeer has entered Bigg Boss 20, and Arijit says he may finally tune into the reality show for the first time.
Sharing a post on his private X handle, Arijit cheered for Qazi with a sweet message: “I will have to watch Bigg Boss for the first time because apna rockstar Qazi hai udhar.” The post quickly caught attention, not just because of the unusual Arijit-Bigg Boss connection, but because it offered a glimpse into a friendship that has lasted for
more than two decades.
Arijit and Qazi first met as teenagers on Fame Gurukul in 2005. While their careers took very different turns, the two have remained friends.
Earlier this year, Qazi shared a glimpse of his visit to Arijit’s hometown, Jiaganj, in West Bengal. The video took fans back to their Fame Gurukul days before showing the two friends riding a scooty through the town and meeting locals.
“We were teenagers then, and now it's 2026, and we're still teenagers at heart. We just refused to grow up,” Qazi said in the video.
