He remarked, \"Let me tell you guys, no matter how many stars exist in this house, there s only one rockstar amongst you all. Qazi Touqeer, the entire week you played quite well.\" Later, Salman called Qazi to the activity area and inquired about his journey over the past 20 years. Qazi responded, \"I did a lot of live shows.\" Salman then highlighted how Qazi's star seemingly shone brightly, only to dim, similar to Hollywood icons John Travolta and Bobby Deol, who faced periods of no work and financial struggles before their careers recovered. Salman emphasized the importance of perseverance and mental strength during tough times, urging viewers to learn from Qazi's experiences.",
