A social media controversy has erupted around Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Tauqeer following his reaction during singer Jasmine Sandlas' performance on the reality show. A viral post questioned why Qazi, who is usually seen dancing enthusiastically, remained still when Jasmine performed a song from the film 'Dhurandhar'.

The post went a step further by questioning whether Qazi's reaction was connected to the film's alleged anti-Pakistan theme. This sparked a debate online, with some social media users raising questions about his patriotism.

Amid the controversy, former Bigg Boss contestants Asif Khan and Rohed Khan have publicly defended Qazi, criticising the viral post and asking people not to draw conclusions from a brief moment.

Asif Khan Defends Qazi Tauqeer

Asif Khan has openly supported his former Bigg Boss 20 co-contestant. He explained that living with Qazi inside the Bigg Boss house gave him an opportunity to understand his personality and his feelings towards the country.

Although the two contestants had several arguments and disagreements during the show, Asif said these experiences never made him doubt Qazi's love for India.

In his social media post, Asif wrote, "I got to know him closely on Bigg Boss. We may have had a thousand fights, but I know his love for his country. I just saw in that reaction an artist remembering his own dreams after seeing another artist on stage."

He further urged people not to attach an unnecessary meaning to the moment, saying that it should not be interpreted as something that was never intended.

Asif also wished Qazi love and strength amid the criticism.

Rohed Khan Calls the Viral Allegations Baseless

Rohed Khan has also come forward in Qazi's defence. Criticising the viral post, he described the allegations as completely unreasonable and expressed concern over the way such statements can influence public opinion.

Rohed wrote, "I'm not a fan of Qazi, but this is complete nonsense. Statements like this are poisoning the minds of many people. I can't say much about him, but one thing I know for sure is that he loves his country (India)."

His statement made it clear that personal preferences or differences with Qazi should not be used to question his patriotism without any substantial reason.

Social Media Debate Continues

The controversy highlights how a brief reaction during a television performance can quickly become a major topic of discussion on social media.

While some users questioned Qazi's response, Asif and Rohed have asked people to avoid making assumptions about his feelings towards the country based on a single moment.

Their support has brought attention to the importance of understanding the context before drawing conclusions about someone's intentions or patriotism.
