Abdu Rozik, also known as ‘Chota Bhaijaan’ in the Bigg Boss 16 house, has come a long way. While many mistook him for a child due to his short stature, he proudly stands tall with his medals of achievement and a rabid fanbase all over the world! This intriguing contestant is the world’s tiniest professional boxer and singer.
For the uninitiated, the global social media sensation’s journey has not been easy. He was diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency and Rickets, which meant that he stopped growing and developing hormones at the age of five. According to Rozik, he was bullied and mocked for his size as a young teen, limiting him to only three years of formal education. Teachers did not provide him with stationery or books because they believed that teaching him anything was a waste of time. He was beaten up on the way home from school by his classmates, and most of the time he was stressed out about his life because he was the sole breadwinner.
His family had few resources and could not afford medical treatment for his disorder. Abdu, began to hum his own tunes and write his own lyrics to distract himself from the negativity and began to home-school himself.
Abdu began to hum his own songs and write his own lyrics. He was singing in Tajikistan’s street bazaars to provide for his family until he was spotted and sponsored by Yasmine Safia, a member of the UAE royal family, who then invested to harness and hone his skills and allowed him to travel all over the world.
Over the last two years, he has shared the stage with some of the most well-known musicians, including A.R. Rahman, Redone, French Montana, and Will I AM. Abdu’s first controversy with celebrity came during a public spat with his opponent at a boxing press conference in Moscow, which garnered over 400 million views worldwide. He will soon be seen in Salman Khan’s upcoming film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,’ and he has also recorded his first album of Hindi songs, which will be released by the end of the year.
