Qazi Tauqeer's revelation in Bigg Boss 20
Currently, a series of old memories and stories are going on in the reality show 'Bigg Boss 20'. The show's contestant and 'Fame Gurukul' winner Qazi Touqeer made an important revelation related to the beginning of his career in the October 15 episode. She explained why she rejected a TV project from renowned producer Ekta Kapoor, after winning the reality show in 2005, and how her image was misrepresented in the media at that time.
Memories of Ekta Kapoor's offer
While chatting with fellow contestant Amrapali Dubey in the Bigg Boss house, Qazi recalled the opportunities he got after his win. He told that when he was around 20 years old, Ekta Kapoor had approached him for a project.
Qazi's experience
Kazi said that he felt lucky to get the offer from Ekta Kapoor early in his career. However, he was young at that time and it was difficult for him to understand the character that was being explained to him. It has been told that the character was that of a rock star. Recalling that meeting, Qazi said that Ekta Kapoor's rings distracted him, due to which he could not concentrate on listening to the story.
Media misreporting
Qazi also revealed that he found it difficult to say no to Ekta Kapoor directly. Therefore, he communicated his decision to them through a woman named Anupama. He said, “Ma'am, I am already doing a film. I have a contract which is already signed.”
negative media coverage
Qazi said that the situation changed the next morning. He recalled that newspaper headlines made it appear that he deliberately rejected Ekta Kapoor's offer because he had got a bigger opportunity. He said, “Kazi rejected Ekta Kapoor. Kazi has some big project now.”
Qazi's identity
Qazi was quite disappointed with the reporting of this incident. He said that this coverage caused him to be publicly embarrassed. Due to the absence of social media at that time, he had no instant means of getting his point across.
victory of fame gurukul
After winning 'Fame Gurukul' with Ruprekha Banerjee in 2005, Kazi became a household name. This reality show brought him recognition and provided many opportunities in the entertainment industry. Later, he appeared in the song 'Afghan Jalebi' from the 2015 film 'Phantom', starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles.
reaction on social media
Qazi shared how the media damaged his career 💔 When he was in talks with Ekta Kapoor for a movie, the negative narrative around him may have cost him opportunities. Paid negative PR? 👀 Who knows, maybe Ekta ji was involved too 😜➡ Just kidding, bro! I feel you, Qazi. ❤️🩹 No matter what, you'll always be a ROCKSTARRR! #QaziTouqeer #BiggBoss20 #BB20
