Qazi Touqeer ‘Lollipop’ Row on Bigg Boss 20

The contestant tried to justify the line by claiming he was channeling Hrithik Roshan’s Koi… Mil Gaya persona, prompting a sharp rebuke from co‑star Kanika Mann.

Qazi Touqeer found himself at the centre of a Bigg Boss 20 storm on Thursday when he dropped a line about lollipops while trying to adopt the tone of Hrithik Roshan’s iconic science‑fiction hero. The contestant told co‑star Kanika Mann that he was speaking as the child‑like version of the Koi… Mil Gaya character, then added that children love lollipops and chocolates.

Kanika did not let the explanation slide. She interrupted him, saying she did not appreciate the remark and called it cheap. The exchange quickly escalated as Qazi tried to double‑down, insisting the word was not abusive and that he was merely staying in character. He even asked, "Can we have lollipop together?" The question, meant as a playful tease, was taken as a double‑meaning jab and earned a swift walk‑away from Kanika.

The housemates seized on the tension. Some defended Qazi, arguing that the line was a harmless nod to a famous movie dialogue, while others echoed Kanika’s sentiment that the comment crossed a line. The debate spilled out of the house, with fans flooding Twitter and Instagram with split opinions. One user wrote that the housemates were stretching a simple joke for screen time, while another dismissed the uproar as a recycled controversy.

The incident adds to a growing list of Qazi’s headline‑making moments on the show. Earlier this season he pretended to need medical assistance after a task, later admitting the act was a stunt to entertain viewers. That stunt drew criticism from fellow contestants and sparked a separate controversy over his "ganji gudiya" and "lollipop" remarks, which some housemates claimed carried a double meaning.

Industry observers note that such flare‑ups are a staple of reality‑TV formulae. A heated argument fuels daily‑episode ratings and gives producers fresh material for promos. For Qazi, the controversy may translate into more screen time, but it also risks alienating a segment of the audience that finds the insinuations uncomfortable. Kanika’s quick rebuttal signals that she will not tolerate similar jokes in the future, potentially reshaping alliances inside the house.

Social media reaction has been swift. Hashtags related to the "lollipop" row trended within minutes of the episode’s airing. While a portion of fans defended the contestant’s right to improvise, many echoed Kanika’s stance, labeling the comment as cheap and unnecessary. The divide mirrors a larger conversation about the boundaries of humour in reality programming.

As the show moves toward its finale, the Qazi‑Kanika clash could become a defining subplot. Viewers will be watching to see whether the housemates steer clear of further double‑meaning jokes or if the producers lean into the controversy for another ratings bump. Either way, the episode has reminded audiences that Bigg Boss 20 still knows how to stir the pot.

What’s next? The next episode airs on Friday, and insiders suggest the producers may bring the two into a task that forces them to cooperate, testing whether the tension can be turned into drama or resolution. Keep an eye on the house’s Instagram live feeds for any behind‑the‑scenes hints.
