Mumbai, October 14, 2026: Bigg Boss 16 fame Abdu Rozik has opened up about the public reaction to his engagement announcement, describing his decision to share the personal milestone with fans as a “very big mistake”. The singer reflected on why he chose to make the news public, how he views his followers and what the experience taught him about sharing details of his personal life.
Abdu, who called off his engagement in 2024, said he had shared the news because he considers his followers more than just fans. The singer is now preparing for a new phase in his career, with his first lead role in the horror short film Conjure: The Reel Files. During the conversation, he discussed both his personal experiences and his move into acting.
Abdu Rozik Explains Why He Shared His Engagement News
Abdu said his decision to announce the engagement publicly came from the close connection he feels with his followers. According to the singer, he often interacts with them on Instagram and seeks their opinions, which has made him view them as an extended family.
“I don’t always think of the fans as fans. I think of them as a family. He explained that he expected his followers to feel happy for him when he shared the news, just as people would celebrate a joyful moment with their own family.
“So I thought if I share it to my family, not fans, they will be excited. And they will be happy because it is my happy time,” he said.
However, the response was different from what he had anticipated. Looking back at the announcement, Abdu said, “But it was a very big mistake. A lot of people were actually on the other side. So they tried to do a lot of things.”
His comments reflect the difficult side of sharing personal milestones in the public eye, particularly when an announcement attracts reactions and criticism from people online.
Singer Says There Is No Need to Rush Marriage
Abdu had previously said that his engagement ended because of cultural differences. Reflecting on the experience, he emphasised that important decisions in life should happen at the right time rather than being rushed.
“In life you don’t have to hurry. So everything has its own time,” he said, adding that he still hopes to get married in the future. “Once the time comes, I will get married.”
The singer’s remarks suggest that he remains open to marriage while choosing to let life unfold at its own pace. His earlier decision to share the engagement news was motivated by a desire to include his followers in a happy moment, but the reaction appears to have made him more cautious about revealing personal details publicly.
Abdu also used the moon and the sun as a metaphor for the idea that everyone has their own moment to shine. His message was that life’s milestones do not need to follow a fixed timeline and that patience is important when it comes to personal decisions.
Abdu Rozik Takes on His First Lead Role in a Horror Film
Alongside reflecting on his personal life, Abdu is exploring a new direction in his professional career with Conjure: The Reel Files. After appearing on reality shows such as Bigg Boss 16 and Laughter Chefs, he is stepping into a lead role in the horror short film.
Talking about the experience, Abdu said he enjoyed working on the project, although some scenes were frightening. One sequence that stood out involved his character sitting on a seesaw opposite a ghost. He recalled that the ghost’s makeup looked so realistic that it made the scene particularly memorable.
“It was looking so real,” he said while describing the experience.
Abdu explained that watching the completed film could feel scarier than shooting it. During filming, he knew the person playing the ghost, which made the character less frightening on set. Seeing the finished version, however, could create a different impression.
Abdu Hopes Audiences Will See a New Side of Him
Abdu also credited his connection with the film’s co-stars for helping him become part of the project. With Conjure: The Reel Files, he hopes to show audiences a different side of his personality beyond his familiar appearances on reality television.
The horror short film marks a new step for the singer as he explores acting and takes on a different kind of role. Abdu has also expressed an openness to working in more horror projects in the future.
As he moves forward professionally, his reflections on the engagement announcement highlight a more personal lesson: even when public figures view their followers as family, sharing private moments with a wide audience can bring unexpected reactions. For Abdu, the experience has reinforced the importance of patience and allowing personal milestones to happen in their own time.
