In the past, Awez participated in the reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa," but had to withdraw due to a knee injury. Besides his individual success, Awez also runs a choreography academy named “B You” in Mumbai with Zaid Darbar and Tejal Pimpley.
Adding another layer to the Bigg Boss buzz, Awez was reportedly in a relationship with Nagma Mirajkar, who is also rumored to be a contestant this season. Nagma is a beauty and lifestyle content creator with a substantial following.
As Bigg Boss 19 gears up for its premiere, other potential contestants are also making headlines.

The show promises a diverse mix of personalities from different backgrounds, including actors, singers, influencers, and comedians.
This season's theme is reportedly "gharwaalon ki sarkaar," suggesting a democratic element within the house. It remains to be seen how this theme will unfold and impact the dynamics between the contestants.
With Awez Darbar confirmed as the first contestant and a promising lineup of other participants, Bigg Boss 19 is set to deliver another season of intense drama and entertainment. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Awez's journey unfolds and what surprises this season has in store.
