Bollywood star Salman Khan announces first 'Bigg Boss 16' contestant, Dubai-based social media star Abdu Rozik

As season 16 of hit reality TV show ‘Bigg Boss’ nears its October 1 release day, the show’s superstar host Salman Khan introduced Tajikistani singer and musician Abdu Rozik as the first contestant. Rozik, who lives in Dubai, had impressed Khan and the audience with his melodious rendition of ‘Dil Deewana Bin Sajna Ke’ from the star’s 1989 romantic film ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ opposite Bhagyashree.

Appreciating his talent, Khan said: “He cannot speak proper Hindi but can sing in the language so well.” He also asked Rozik how he felt about going inside the house and the singer replied: “I am very excited. I just love everyone and believe in spreading it. No fights, all love, and I request everyone to please support me.” Khan also recalled how he bonded so well with him during the IIFA event in Abu Dhabi and became part of his upcoming film. So who is Abdu Rozik?

Rozik is known for his youthful appearance, however, it’s important to put it out there that he is not a minor. Rozik is around 19 years old and eligible to enter the ‘Bigg Boss’ house.

Rozik is a singer and rapper. He is even known as the world’s smallest singer, as he is around 100cm in height.

He hails from Tajikistan and has a YouTube channel that has more than 580,000 subscribers.

He will soon be seen in Salman Khan’s film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’. The action comedy film directed by Farhad Samji also stars Venkatesh Daggubati and Pooja Hegde, and is set to release this December.

Rozik garnered a lot of fame after a video of him fighting Hasbulla went viral on social media. Both Abdu Rozik and Hasbulla have gone viral on social media for their videos.

As per reports, Abdu Rozik suffered from rickets in his childhood and due to his family’s financial problems, they couldn’t get him treated which eventually led to his height getting stagnant at a young age. However, the statement hasn’t been confirmed by Rozik himself. (Here he is seen with Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma.)

Rozik has met a number of celebrities, including actress Shilpa Shetty, cricketer Virat Kohli, former boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr and footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (pictured).
