Abdu Rozik, who rose to fame due to his music and social media popularity, won hearts across India during his appearance on Bigg Boss 16, hosted by Salman Khan. With his endearing personality and relatable moments inside the house, he quickly became a viewer favourite. His Hindi track Chota Bhaijaan, a tribute to Salman Khan, further cemented his stardom.
A Star With Global Presence
Beyond reality TV, Abdu featured in Laughter Chefs: Entertainment Unlimited Season 2, partnered with YouTuber Elvish Yadav. However, he exited mid-season during Ramadan for a Dubai trip, after which actor Karan Kundrra stepped in as his replacement.
