Recalling the meeting, Qazi said that he was lucky to get such a great opportunity. However, he admitted that he was too young to fully understand the character being portrayed.

The singer also revealed that it was difficult to say no to Kapoor directly. Instead, he conveyed his decision through a woman named Anupama, explaining that he had already committed to a film and signed a contract.

Qazi told her, “Ma’am, I am already doing a film. I have a contract. It is already signed.”

Who knows, maybe Ektaji was also involved??????? Just kidding bro! I feel you, Kazi. ❤️?????? No matter what, you’ll always be a ROCKSTARRR! #Qazi Tauqeer #BiggBoss20 #BB20
