Abdu Rozik Breaks Silence After Being Detained At Dubai Airport: 'I Am Fine...'
Internet sensation and former Bigg Boss contestant Abdu Rozik grabbed attention after he was detained at Dubai airport. The news went viral, and now he has recently addressed it and assured fans that he is 'completely fine".
The Free Press Journal shared a video in which the singer did not directly address the arrest reports. He was seen at the red carpet of the IIIA Awards in Dubai. He assured everyone that he was doing fine. 'I want to say to everyone, I love Dubai, and I am here with all of you. God is always with the right person. I am fine; everything is good. Lots of love and thank you so much for supporting me," he said.
Watch the viral video:
Abdu Rozik was taken into custody at Dubai International Airport early Saturday morning, his management company confirmed to Khaleej Times. The 21-year-old was reportedly detained by authorities around 5 am, shortly after landing in Dubai from Montenegro. While the exact nature of the complaint remains under wraps, a representative from Rozik's team stated, 'All we can say is that we are aware he has been taken into custody on allegations of theft." They declined to elaborate further, and no official statement has yet been issued by the Dubai authorities.
However, this isn't the first time Rozik has found himself embroiled in controversy. Last year, he was questioned by India's Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case involving a hospitality firm. While Rozik was not named as an accused, the incident made headlines across Indian media.
Most recently, the singer appeared on Laughter Chefs: Entertainment Unlimited Season 2, hosted by Bharti Singh, where he was paired with YouTuber Elvish Yadav. His quirky one-liners and on-screen chemistry with Elvish won hearts, but he exited the show mid-way during Ramadan, citing a short trip to Dubai. He was later replaced by Karan Kundrra.
His rise to fame began with viral musical content and later accelerated with his participation in Bigg Boss 16, making him a fan favourite with his infectious personality and comic timing. In 2024, he made his boxing debut at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena and launched his restaurant brand Habibi in the United Kingdom.

Notorious Ecuadoran Drug Trafficker Adolfo Macias Pleads Not Guilty In US Court
Last Updated: The leader of the Los Choneros gang delivered his 'not guilty' plea in a federal court in Brooklyn through his lawyer and with the help of an interpreter, AFP reported. Notorious Ecuadoran drug trafficker Adolfo Macias has pleaded not guilty to narcotics charges in a court in the United States on Monday, nearly a month after he was arrested again after he escaped from a maximum security penitentiary in 2024. The leader of the Los Choneros gang delivered his 'not guilty" plea in a federal court in Brooklyn through his lawyer and with the help of an interpreter, AFP reported. The man denied seven charges, which included drug trafficking and arms trafficking – which is punishable by 20 years to life imprisonment. 'As alleged, the defendant served for years as the principal leader of Los Choneros, a notoriously violent transnational criminal organization, and was a ruthless and infamous drug and firearms trafficker," US attorney Joseph Nocella said in a statement ahead of hearing on Monday. 'The defendant and his co-conspirators flooded the United States and other countries with drugs and used extreme measures of violence in their quest for power and control." In April, the US Attorney's Office filed charges against Macias for allegedly being involved in cocaine trafficking, conspiracy, and gun-related crimes, including smuggling weapons. The flight carrying Macias from Ecuador arrived in New York state late Sunday. Last week, Macias—who was once a taxi driver but later became a crime leader—agreed in a court in Quito to be sent to the US to face these charges. Macias is the first person from Ecuador to be extradited under a new law passed last year. The law was approved after a public vote, where President Daniel Noboa asked citizens to support tougher action against criminal gangs. Ecuador, once a peaceful country located between Colombia and Peru—the world's top cocaine producers—has seen a rise in violence as rival gangs linked to Mexican and Colombian cartels fight for power. In January 2024, after Macias escaped from prison, President Noboa declared a state of 'internal armed conflict". He sent the military and tanks into the streets to take down the gangs. Macias's escape led to a wave of violence and a large operation by police and the military to catch him. The government even offered a $1 million reward for information that would lead to his capture. On June 25, Macias was found hiding in a bunker under floor tiles in a luxury house in Manta, a port city known as the base of his gang, Los Choneros. President Noboa said Macias should be extradited 'the sooner the better."

Saiyaara Crosses Rs 100 Cr In 4 Days, But THIS Vicky Kaushal Film Hit Century In 3 Days In 2025
Last Updated: Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4. There's no stopping Saiyaara. Even on Monday which is typically a slow day for most releases, the film continued its impressive run at the box office. Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4. This brings its total to Rs 106 crore in just four days, according to The romantic drama released on July 18 and got off to a phenomenal start, collecting Rs 25 crore (approx. $2.9 million) on its opening day in India. According to YRF, nearly 9.75 lakh people flocked to theatres on Day 1, making it the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film led entirely by debutants. It beat the previous record set by Dhadak, which opened at Rs 8.76 crore in 2018. What makes Saiyaara's feat even more notable is that only one other Hindi film in 2025 has managed to hit the Rs 100 crore mark faster, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal. The period drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, has been one of the biggest success stories of the year. It earned a staggering Rs 49.03 crore on Sunday alone, closing its opening weekend with Rs 121.43 crore in India. While Chhaava and Saiyaara differ vastly in genre and scale, one being a historical epic, the other a contemporary love story, both have made history in their own right. Importantly, Saiyaara's success stands tall on its own merit. It not only marks a breakout moment for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, but also sets a new benchmark for romantic films at the box office. It outperformed recent romantic hits like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Rs 11.1 crore), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (Rs 15.73 crore), and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore) in terms of opening day numbers. The buzz around Saiyaara was strong even before release, with advance bookings crossing Rs 9.39 crore and over 3.8 lakh tickets sold. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had reported that 1.38 lakh tickets were booked across national chains like PVR INOX and Cinepolis—a record for a debut film in recent memory. With its soaring numbers, stellar word-of-mouth and sold-out shows across metros, Saiyaara is proving to be a cultural and commercial phenomenon. While Chhaava continues to dominate as the highest grosser of 2025, Saiyaara has earned its place in the spotlight, representing a strong, refreshing wave of new talent and storytelling in Bollywood.
