In an interview with India Today, Trisha said, "I have known Simbu and Kamal sir for several years now, and it was quite easy for me. In my film career, Kamal sir has been a mentor to me. Simbu and I have done two films, and we have known each other for a long time. When I entered the film set, it felt like a safe space for me. I have built a comfort level with everyone, even with Mani sir."

You are both in sync than you have before," she added.

The nature of the complaint or the evidence behind the accusation has not been made public. Furthermore, UAE authorities have not yet released any formal statement addressing the circumstances surrounding the incident. A spokesperson from Rozik's management firm acknowledged to Khaleej Times that they were informed of his detention based on accusations related to theft. However, they refrained from providing any further insight. In contrast, a report by India Today cited a statement from S-Line Project, the firm that handles Rozik's professional affairs, claiming that the singer had merely been held for questioning and was not formally arrested.

His medical history reveals that he suffers from dwarfism, a condition resulting from a deficiency of growth hormone. While this could have been treated during his childhood, his family's financial constraints prevented access to the necessary medical care. Growing up in poverty, Rozik often missed out on formal education. He began performing on the streets and in local markets of Panjakent, Tajikistan, to earn a livelihood. His big break came in 2022 when he appeared on the Indian reality show Bigg Boss 16. Before that, he featured in the Bollywood film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. In 2023, he made a guest appearance on Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, and he is currently competing in Laughter Chefs—Unlimited Entertainment on Colors TV.
