Salman Khan
Host of Bigg Boss 20 who praised Qazi Touqeer during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode
“Sometimes in life, you get certain things very quickly, and they disappear just as quickly. Take John Travolta, for example. There was a period when he had no work in Hollywood for almost 20 years. But he never stopped working on himself. Then there is Bobby Deol. He was one of the biggest stars, and yet he went through a difficult phase. But he never gave up”
