Before Bigg Boss 20, fans spent over Rs 11 cr to make Qazi Touqeer win Fame Gurukul
Before Bigg Boss 20, Qazi Touqeer was a reality TV sensation. The Fame Gurukul winner had millions rooting for him in 2005.
When Bigg Boss 20 premiered on September 6 and the contestants were revealed, the general verdict was that there were hardly any known faces in the lineup. Among the contestants was Qazi Touqeer, a name that meant very little to a generation that grew up on Instagram, YouTube and streaming platforms. On premiere night, many viewers found his antics irritating; others simply wondered why he was on the show.
Then there was another night, almost 21 years back.
