Bigg Boss house's 'powerhouse' Ali Quli Mirza is a name that cannot be easily forgotten. He wowed us with his antics and controversies in the show.

Speaking to TOI, Ali revealed, "I was offered to play the role of Chand Nawab, which was eventually done by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. But then Bigg Boss got extended by a month, and by that time, the film had already gone on floors. Once I came out of the house, Kabir sir offered me other roles in the film, but they weren't that prominent. Salman sir, whom I consider my mentor, also then suggested that I work with Kabir in his upcoming projects. Inshallah, that will happen soon."

Bajrangi Bhaijaan has managed to garner critical acclaim as well as box-office numbers. The film has broken many records both in India and overseas too. However, the film that talks about India-Pakistan relationships, has some major flaws. While the era that the film is set in, hasn't been established in the film, the selfie song indicates that it is set in contemporary times. However, YouTube was blocked in Pakistan following a decision taken by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority on February 22, 2008 because of the number of "non-Islamic objectionable videos." Considering this, the sequence where Nawazuddin's character is seen using the video sharing site to spread Bajrangi's message seems to be a discrepancy.
