Rohed Khan’s Bigg Boss 20 journey may have come to an end, but the actor has plenty to say about what really happened inside the house. After his eviction, Rohed interacted with us exclusively and opened up about the heated equation between Reet Tiwari and Qazi, his own perception of Qazi’s illness, and whether Reet’s outburst came from insecurity. Interestingly, Rohed admitted that even he had initially misunderstood Qazi’s situation while living inside the house. “Look, it probably isn't a matter of insecurity. At the time, we didn't know what Kazi was actually telling the audience or what he was doing. We felt he was taking advantage of his illness and emotionally draining everyone,” Rohed said, before revealing that watching the episode from outside completely changed his perspective.
Rohed admitted that it was only after leaving the Bigg Boss house that he understood Qazi’s side more clearly. “You know, until I came out—actually, until this morning—I didn't know exactly what had happened. But when I watched the Bigg Boss episode as a viewer, I thought, ‘Wow, this guy is amazing; he’s actually being upfront about it.’ Before that, I too felt he was trying to convince the public that he was a patient with no work, just to garner sympathy,” he explained. Rohed also suggested that other contestants may eventually experience the same change in perception once they leave the highly controlled environment of the show. “You can't really blame those inside who don't realize this yet; once they come out—just as I did—they’ll understand. They’ll eventually feel the same respect for Qazi that I do now,” he added.
But Rohed’s biggest revelation came while discussing his own personality and whether his relatively non-aggressive approach may have contributed to his shorter Bigg Boss journey. The actor was quick to explain that his calm behaviour should not be mistaken for an inability to fight back. “Look, for instance—don't forget, I’m an international artist because I’m from Australia, but I have Afghan blood. I’m a Pathan, too. I get angry—and when I do, it can get really ugly. If you look at history, the anger of Pathans is legendary, you know? But there has to be a valid trigger,” he said. Rohed then made it clear that he does not believe in creating conflict merely for entertainment. “My anger is something I hold in high regard; I don't want to waste it on things like sugar, tea, eggs, and so on. It should only come out when there’s a significant issue,” he said, adding, “My patience level is very low.”
Rohed also explained why he believes an argument only works when both people are actually willing to engage. “But I’m a 31-year-old guy. If you don't challenge me directly—and challenge me properly—then what am I supposed to give back? I’m the one who would end up looking weak,” he said. Using his own physical presence and his interactions with other contestants as an example, he added, “The best kind of argument happens when you're on the same level—eye-to-eye. If the other person isn't even engaging, I might as well just argue with my own reflection in the mirror.” His comments offer a glimpse into why viewers may not have seen Rohed explode over every disagreement inside the house.
He then recalled his confrontation with Scout, explaining that he deliberately chose a private conversation instead of turning the disagreement into a public spectacle. “If Arish said something wrong, I would sit him down and explain things. I was the only guy allowed to call Arishfa ‘my kid,’ you know? So, I felt it was better to sit him down and explain—like when Scout said something wrong to Arishfa. I could have shouted at that moment—‘Hey, what are you saying? Don't talk like that! What's your problem?’—I know how to do that, too. But I thought, ‘Before I humiliate him... he's my friend, and we know how to honor our friendship.’ So, I waited until everything had cooled down.” According to Rohed, the conversation ended simply after he told Scout, “Look, brother, don't say things like that again.” Scout agreed, and Rohed considered the matter closed.
Ultimately, Rohed believes his Bigg Boss 20 strategy was less about avoiding confrontation and more about choosing which battles deserved his energy. “If I had pushed it further—like, ‘Swear on your mother's life you won't do it’—it would have become too much, you know?” he said. And when asked again whether he had perhaps been too restrained compared with contestants who made bigger issues out of smaller incidents, Rohed delivered his final jab: “But regarding what you said earlier—that I wouldn't make a big deal out of small issues—well, there were plenty of people in the house who were making a big deal out of small things.” After his eviction, Rohed’s comments suggest that the quiet contestant may have had plenty of fire — he simply didn’t believe every argument was worth setting the house ablaze.
