Former ‘Bigg Boss 16' contestant and renowned social media influencer, Abdu Rozik, who was set to get married in July, has postponed his wedding with fiancée Amira for the sake of financial security. The Tajikistani musician, known for his vibrant online presence, revealed that he got engaged to Amira, on April 24, 2024. The engagement ceremony, held in Sharjah, UAE was an intimate event.

Abdu has rescheduled the wedding after he was offered his first title boxing match at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. He told ETimes, "I never imagined that I'll get the chance to fight for a title in my life. After so many good things happening this year for my career and my love life, unfortunately, I have to postpone the wedding as this match will give us huge financial security for the future."

"Amira supports my decision fully as it will change a lot for us. It's the first-ever title for someone my size and I have a heavy training camp to endure as well these days," Abdu added.

For the uninitiated, it hasn't been a cakewalk for the global social media sensation. He was diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency and Rickets which meant at the age of 5 he stopped growing and his hormone development stopped.

According to Rozik, as a young teen, he was bullied and mocked for his size as a result of which he could only get 3 years of formal education.

After facing bullying back at home Abdu started to hum his tunes and write his lyrics. He was singing in the street bazaars of Tajikistan to provide for his family until the age of 17 when he was spotted and sponsored by Yasmine Safia who hails from the royal family of UAE, who then invested to harness and hone his skills and allowed him to travel all over the world.

Over the past couple of years, he has performed with some of the most reputed artists including A.R. Rahman, Redone, French Montana and Will I AM. Abdu's initial tryst with fame was during his public spat at a boxing press conference in Moscow with his opponent that amassed over 400 million views worldwide.

Abdu Rozik was also seen alongside Salman Khan in the film 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan'.
