Kashmiri singer Qazi Touqeer is experiencing a renewed wave of popularity, with his appearance on Bigg Boss bringing him back into the spotlight. His portraits are appearing on walls in Srinagar, his performances are circulating on social media, and his songs are becoming popular at weddings across Kashmir.
Touqeer, 40, first rose to fame after winning the reality show Fame Gurukul in 2005. Although his popularity faded over the years, his recent television appearance has helped him reconnect with audiences and attract a new generation of fans.
In Srinagar’s Wazir Bagh area, a colourful portrait of Touqeer adorns a wall at the Books and Bricks cafe, attracting visitors who stop to take photographs.
Born in Khanyar, in Srinagar’s old city, the singer remains closely connected to his Kashmiri roots and the character of the neighbourhood where he grew up.
His renewed popularity reflects the continued influence of reality television and social media in bringing familiar performers back into public attention.
From Reality TV Fame to Kashmir’s Wedding Playlists
Touqeer’s songs and performances are gaining traction online, while his music is finding a place at local weddings. His growing appeal among young Kashmiris highlights how television exposure can revive an artist’s career long after an initial period of fame.
His journey from winning Fame Gurukul to becoming a renewed cultural talking point in Kashmir marks a notable comeback for the singer.
