Abdu Rozik, widely recognised for his short stature due to a growth hormone deficiency, rose to international fame through viral musical content. His charm and comic timing won millions of hearts during his stint on Bigg Boss 16, after which he expanded his presence across entertainment, sports, and business.
A longtime Dubai resident and recipient of the UAE Golden Visa, Rozik has performed globally and even entered the boxing arena with his debut at Coca-Cola Arena in 2024.
He also launched his own restaurant chain, Habibi, in the United Kingdom.
This arrest, however, adds to a growing list of controversies. In 2023, Rozik was questioned by India's Enforcement Directorate over a money laundering probe involving a hospitality firm. Though not listed as an accused, his association with the case attracted considerable media attention.
Abdu last appeared on Laughter Chefs: Entertainment Unlimited Season 2, hosted by Bharti Singh, alongside YouTuber Elvish Yadav. The unexpected legal trouble has left fans shocked, with many awaiting clarity on the serious allegations he now faces.

She has asked for a full investigation into what she describes as the 'unexplained circumstances' surrounding her son's death. According to ANI, Rani Kapur filed an official criminal complaint with British police and stressed the urgency of a proper probe. Media reports also suggest that she believes something more serious may have happened.
