After taking part in India’s infamous reality competition, “Bigg Boss 16,” singer and internet phenomenon Abdu Rozik became well known. He was one of the most adored participants on the show, and even his other contestants showered him with unending affection. Nevertheless, Abdu voluntarily left Bigg Boss 16 due to prior work obligations. He has been frequently making headlines since his departure, and today is no exception. Abdu recently made an appearance on Maniesh Paul’s podcast, where he discussed his difficult background, his experience competing in Bigg Boss 16, his forthcoming ventures, and much more.
Abdu Rozik Opens Up On Maniesh Paul’s Podcast
Abdu Rozik spoke openly with Maniesh Paul about his difficult childhood, when he had to walk 2.5 hours to get to school. He described how he was abused as a child and how some people threw money at him for singing in the bazaar. Abdu went on to say that he did not attend school since his hamlet used to experience snowfall, which would sometimes reach as high as his neck. Abdu also remarked to Maniesh that he is appreciating the love he is receiving from a sizable number of individuals.
Maniesh then questioned Abdu about a Bigg Boss 16 event in which his fellow competitors scribbled Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia’s birthday on his naked back. Abdu was asked about his opinion after he informed him that it caused controversy. Abdu responded by claiming that he does not know how to read or write because he was unable to finish school because of a lack of funds.
Abdu added, “I don’t know why people were writing “I love tatti” on my back. I couldn’t read it once I saw it in the mirror. When I asked people what they had written on my back, they told me they had written “I adore Nimrit,” which was a lie. I said, “Okay.”
The Bigg Boss 16 participant went on to say that he felt awful because millions of people were watching the show instead of just one. Abdu added, “People saw me not just in India, but also in my nation. My mom and dad were watching me. Also disclosed was his mother’s intense rage about his fellow contestants’ treatment of him.”

For the uninitiated, Abdu’s co-contestants played a practical joke on him while he was imprisoned in the Bigg Boss 16 house, but it backfired. The prisoners scrawled “I love Tatti” on Adbu Rozik’s exposed back on Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia’s birthday. Fans of Abdu were not pleased with this practical joke. Salman Khan, the host, also reprimanded the housemates for their actions.
Furthermore, Abdu mentioned that he had landed a Bollywood film during his meeting with Maniesh. The Bigg Boss 16 fame replied that he is not permitted to share any information about this project when questioned by the inquisitive Maniesh and asked him about them.
Abdu is poised to advance professionally as he prepares to make his Bollywood debut in Salman Khan’s upcoming movie, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
