Abdu Rozik lashes out at his former management team for spreading ‘false' news about his arrest at Dubai Airport; says 'Ridiculous and Unfair'
Bigg Boss 16 fame Abdu Rozik was recently in the news when reports of him getting arrested at Dubai International Airport on charges of theft went viral. He had flown to Dubai to attend an award ceremony on Saturday. However, the Tajikistani singer had dismissed the reports and has slammed his previous management team for maligning his image and spreading lies about him. Speaking out for the first time about the accusations, Abdu shared with Bollywood Bubble that he's doing well and continuing his work as usual. He clarified that the entire controversy was created by his former management team, who allegedly made baseless allegations against him. According to Abdu, they falsely accused him of stealing his own possessions — a Gucci bag gifted to him on his birthday, a mobile phone he personally bought, and a Rolex watch gifted by a friend. Abdu, who was last seen in Laughter Chefs season 2, further said, "It's ridiculous and unfair that my ex-manager is calling these items 'stolen.' I want to say thank you to everyone who is standing by the truth. This is just another challenge for me, and it's making me stronger and more motivated." Previously, Abdu's team released an official statement to the Khaleej Times, where they stated, "First of all, he was not arrested—he was only detained by the police. Abdu Rozik provided an explanation and was released. He will be attending the award ceremony in Dubai today. Secondly, information in the media is not correct. We will take all legal action to protect Abdu Rozik and his image. Also, we will provide you with all the information later on to inform the Indian people. Believe us, we have a lot to say regarding this issue." On the work front, Abhu made his debut on Indian television with Bigg Boss 16 and became an overnight sensation. He was also seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi and Laughter Chefs season 2. Abdu Rozik Delays Wedding: His Reason Will Shock You!
