Bigg Boss 20 has hit a rough patch as fans of Qazi Touqeer accuse the makers of cutting his footage. Now that frustration has grown into a direct demand on the creators. Meanwhile, the debate keeps growing louder across social media with every new episode.
Why Qazi Touqeer Fans Are Angry
As reported by Siasat, supporters of Qazi Touqeer believe his airtime has shrunk significantly over recent episodes. Posts online claim he gets roughly five minutes of an episode that runs 75 minutes. In their view, his genuine exchanges with other housemates rarely reach the broadcast. Instead, they say, the episodes lean on replays and tense scenes.
As a result, the frustration has turned into a public dare. One viewer pushed the channel to remove him and let viewership data show the impact. The post argued that his value to the season would then be obvious. Others accused the team of trimming his strongest scenes to favour rival housemates. One fan even declared that “Qazi doesn’t need your show.”
Notably, the show has plenty of strong numbers. JioHotstar viewers have reportedly logged a billion hours in under two months, a pace no other edition has managed. Voting also surged, with the tally passing 3.5 billion, roughly 71 percent higher than the edition before. Even so, fans insist that Qazi Touqeer is the real draw.
What the Narrator and Ratings Reports Say
At the same time, the voice of Bigg Boss, Vijay Vikram Singh, has responded to the growing noise. He said his Instagram timeline kept filling up with questions about Qazi’s screen time. According to him, he only lends his voice to the show. He plays no part in deciding how much footage anyone receives.
He also asked viewers to send feedback to Colors through its website and official social media pages. In his words, the series is a game show, so viewers should treat it like one. Fans can back their favourites, he added, but should not take it personally. However, that advice may not satisfy supporters who feel the edit itself is the problem.
Earlier reports also linked the row to ratings. Weekly viewership reportedly fell from 30 million to 7 million, and some fans blamed the missing footage. However, the claim rests on a video circulating online rather than an official release, so the figure deserves some caution. The two sets of numbers also appear to measure different things, so they do not necessarily contradict each other.
What Lies Ahead for Qazi Touqeer
Qazi also enjoys a wide following outside the house, and several celebrities, including filmmaker Rohit Shetty, have publicly backed him. That backing helps explain why any dip in screen time draws a loud reaction online. Some viewers now turn to the round-the-clock live stream to see his unedited moments, which shows their commitment.
Editors must squeeze hours of footage into one episode, so screen time naturally shifts from day to day. Still, fans point to a pattern across several episodes rather than a single bad edit. That is why the question returns whenever a new episode airs. In the end, the makers control the cut, while viewers shape the conversation around it.
For now, viewers are waiting to see if the channel will step in or stay silent. Most posts suggest the eviction dare is a form of protest. What fans really seem to want is fairer footage for Qazi Touqeer, not an actual exit from the house.
