Rohed Khan on Qazi Touqeer faking illness in Bigg Boss 20
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Evicted Bigg Boss 20 contestant Rohed Khan has claimed that co-contestant Qazi Touqeer faked his illness inside the reality show's house purely to garner sympathy, following Salman Khan's exposé during the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode. Rohed, who was recently eliminated from the show, said the revelation changed how he viewed Qazi's game strategy.
What Rohed Said About Qazi's Strategy
Speaking after his eviction, Rohed said he only understood the full picture once he was outside the house and could watch the show. 'When I came out and found out that he was telling people that he was going to do this and that, I found the game amazing,' Rohed said. However, he noted that from inside the house, the contestants had no idea Qazi was playing to the gallery. 'We thought he was just making fun of his illness and sympathising with himself,' he added.
Rohed recalled that during arguments, Qazi would deflect by saying, 'I am a patient. Don't say anything to me' — a tactic Rohed now believes was a deliberate move to disarm opponents and avoid confrontation.
Why Rohed Did Not Hug Qazi at Eviction
Explaining a moment that caught viewers' attention, Rohed revealed he chose to shake hands with Qazi rather than hug him when he left the Bigg Boss 20 house. 'After I got evicted, I felt cheated. But when I came home and saw everything, I understood his game and I respected his game,' he said. He added that the anger has since faded: 'When he comes out, I will hug him and talk to him.'
The Crying Incident That 'Stopped His Game'
Rohed also recalled a specific exchange where he told Qazi jokingly that he was a 'very good actor.' Qazi reportedly burst into tears, saying, 'You are making fun of my illness' — a reaction Rohed says derailed his own gameplay. 'That stopped my game,' Rohed admitted, adding that had he known from week one that Qazi was performing for the audience, he could have played more openly alongside him.
Rohed's Takeaway on Qazi's Gameplay
Despite feeling misled, Rohed ultimately acknowledged that Qazi's strategy was effective. He said if Qazi had been upfront about his approach, the two could have coordinated their games more openly. The evicted contestant's remarks come after host Salman Khan publicly called out Qazi's behaviour on Weekend Ka Vaar, a development that has sparked debate among Bigg Boss 20 viewers about the fine line between strategic gameplay and deception. How the revelations affect Qazi's standing with the audience — and the remaining contestants — will likely play out in the coming weeks.
