During the conversation, actress Amrapali Dubey reminded Qazi about his Fame Gurukul journey. She told him that the entire country had voted for him because of his singing talent.

Qazi acknowledged the support he received from viewers but made an honest admission about his singing abilities at that time. He said, “Lekin main achha nahi gaata tha uss time,” meaning that he did not sing well during that period.

His statement surprised some viewers, especially because Qazi had become one of the most recognised contestants of the show despite his own assessment of his singing skills.
