Srinagar, Oct 7: Singer Qazi Touqeer continues to remain inside the *Bigg Boss 20* house despite reports claiming that he had exited the reality show due to health concerns, his team has clarified.
Speculation about Touqeer’s exit surfaced earlier this week after reports on social media claimed that the singer had fallen ill and was taken out of the show for treatment.
His team, however, issued a statement on Instagram clarifying that Touqeer is still inside the house and has been battling fever for the past few days.
“A heartfelt update for the Qazi family. Our rockstar Qazi has been dealing with fever for the past few days inside the Bigg Boss house and has been taking some much-needed rest whenever he gets the chance,” the statement said.
According to the team, Touqeer recently felt low on energy and was taken to the medical room, where he was examined by a doctor.
“He continues to be inside the Bigg Boss house, and we remain in touch with the BB team regarding his well-being,” it said.
The team added that despite taking things a little easy because of his health, Touqeer continues to participate in the activities and entertain the other contestants.
“Even while taking it a little easy, Qazi continues to participate, entertain everyone and bring his infectious positivity to the house,” the statement said.
The clarification came amid unverified reports that Touqeer had been diagnosed with dengue and had temporarily left the show for treatment. His team has not confirmed any dengue diagnosis and has only referred to fever, low energy and a medical examination.
The team also urged fans not to panic and asked them to continue supporting the singer.
“We request everyone to stay calm, keep faith and continue showering Qazi with your love, prayers and positive energy,” it said.
Touqeer has emerged as one of the more prominent contestants on the ongoing season of *Bigg Boss*. His health concerns come after he was seen appearing unwell in recent episodes, with fellow contestants also discussing his condition.
Earlier, there were instances in previous seasons when contestants had to temporarily leave the *Bigg Boss* house because of health issues before returning after recovery.
Touqeer’s team said it would provide further updates on his condition, while expressing confidence that the singer would return to his usual energetic self once he recovers.
