Tajikistani singer Abdu Rozik and his associate Shiv Thakare have found themselves thrust into the spotlight following their summoning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case tied to Ali Asghar Shirazi’s Hustlers’ Hospitality.
Taking to social media to address the unfolding situation, Abdu Rozik clarified his stance, asserting his role as a witness due to his association with a business partner implicated in the case. In a candid video posted on his YouTube channel, he urged vigilance among celebrities when selecting their business associates, shedding light on potential scams lurking beneath seemingly lucrative ventures.
Emphasizing the point during a live Instagram session, Abdu reiterated that he is not the subject of investigation or arrest. Rather, he was called upon to provide testimony as a witness in a case involving a former business associate. Expressing dismay at being embroiled in a legal quagmire stemming from another’s actions, Abdu underscored the importance of full disclosure in business partnerships, highlighting the need for transparency to shield celebrities from exploitation in brand endorsements.
Abdu Rozik’s rise to prominence in India, propelled by appearances on reality shows like Bigg Boss 16 (2022) and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 (2023) on Colors TV, has not shielded him from the scrutiny surrounding the money laundering allegations. Nevertheless, he remains steadfast in his commitment to transparency, striving to caution others in the industry about the potential pitfalls of their professional affiliations.
As Abdu navigates this legal ordeal, his experience serves as a cautionary tale for celebrities, reminding them of the importance of due diligence and discernment when forging business partnerships in the ever-evolving landscape of the entertainment industry.
