All through the 4 months spent in Gurukul, Qazi was criticized, being just saved 10 times from being voted out. But ultimately his performing ability along with his singing paid off. He released a new album out along with Ruprekha Banerjee at the end of 2005. Qazi had no formal training before Fame Gurukul.
