Singer Qazi Touqeer broke down on Bigg Boss 20 after Bollywood superstar Salman Khan backed him on the latest Weekend Ka Vaar and pulled up contestants over their behaviour towards him during his illness. Khan reprimanded Yung DSA and Scout OP for provoking Qazi, who was down with dengue last week, and said their conduct came across as bullying.
The episode centred on the way Qazi was treated inside the house while he was unwell. Khan questioned not just Yung and Scout, but also Aamrapali and Uditi Singh, as Qazi spoke about being deeply hurt by the housemates’ attitude. The episode also saw Aman Gandhi lose his one lifeline, while Nakul Dhull entered the show as the second wildcard contestant.

Last week, Yung and Scout had several clashes with Qazi and repeatedly tried to provoke him. When Qazi was given extra food for nutrition because he was unwell, they objected to it. During their arguments, Yung and Scout also threatened to harm Qazi outside the house.
Addressing the issue on Sunday, Salman said, “You guys went after Qazi like bullies, then he retaliated, which was also wrong. Qazi, you could have avoided them. There seems to be a bullying gang in the house. What’s with these threats you guys are making about harming each other outside? Aamrapali, why do you have double standards while passing judgments? You called Qazi a moron, a pervert. Scout, you commented on beating Mahhi. I want to ask you, Aamrapali, why are your friends given the benefit of doubt?”
While Aamrapali defended herself, Yung and Scout apologised. Khan then questioned Scout over the way he served food to Qazi. Referring to the moment, he asked why Scout chose to take food to Qazi when the two were not on good terms.
Khan said, “When Love was taking food for Qazi, who was unwell, what did you do, Scout? The way you gave the food was not right. When you had a problem with him, why did you go? You wanted to show that you gave a sick man food; it would look nice on TV. Your way of giving him food was very uncouth, vaahiyaat, and heartless. Even in jail, no one serves food like this; I have been there. In movies, they show how food is slid through the door; that doesn’t happen. They serve you food nicely.”
Qazi speaks about his illness
As Khan continued to address the housemates’ behaviour, he revealed that Qazi had been suffering from dengue. He said, “How many of you think Qazi was faking illness? Who all have suffered from dengue? I had COVID and dengue together during a film’s shoot, and the pain was unbearable; it felt like 10 men were beating me.”
An emotional Qazi then spoke about what he went through. He said, “Even though I had dengue, the doctor asked if my joints were paining, my back was paining. I said no, because I wanted to entertain. I was in a lot of pain. Kanika told me I would be given 10 eggs for protein; others objected, and I was very hurt. I fought very hard.”
Mahhi also broke down and said, “They serve us food very badly.” Khan added, “You guys said he was acting.”
Uditi Singh also questioned
Khan later pulled up Uditi Singh for not standing by Qazi. He reminded her that Qazi had taken a stand for her during the diss task, even when others went against him. Khan said, “Uditi, Qazi took a stand for you in the diss task; everyone went against him. When Yung was mocking him, you were laughing. It wasn’t the time to laugh. You also said he was faking his health. Next time, if someone is ill, show some empathy. The doctors are not mad here that they kept calling him to the medical room.”
Nakul Dhull enters as wildcard
Later in the episode, Aman Gandhi lost his one lifeline on the show. The house also got a new entrant, with content creator Nakul Dhull joining as the second wildcard contestant after Manish Goel. After entering the house, Nakul told contestants that he gives tuition classes to students of Classes 11 and 12, while Scout said that he creates content on social media.
In another conversation inside the house, Nakul also recalled an earlier controversy linked to a viral video that had drawn criticism online.
