With another week of action-filled events in Tamasha Season 5, actor Saqib Sumeer has been eliminated. Continuing to maintain his positive aura, he has exited the show with a heartfelt farewell. As the fellow contestants tear up over his elimination, Saqib has called it another experience from which he has learned a lot. He said that every end is a new beginning, and he will treat his early exit as such.
Amidst the fights and drama, Saqib has been known for his calm and friendly demeanor. He himself has stated that he is a misfit in the fast-paced, dramatic environment. In a conversation with Hassan Choudary on Buzz, he stated that he entered the reality show for experience. He had been excited to socialize with the contestants and wanted to experience living in a closed space in front of over 50 cameras, without any access to devices.
Talking about what he learned from the reality show, Saqib stated that he understood the importance of family, as he missed his wife and children immensely. While he continued to ask for votes from the audience, he kept praying that he would be reunited with his family soon. He added that he could not wait to see his family; his wife’s touch and his three children wrapped around him. As Saqib exits the reality show with gratitude, the audience is gutted after his elimination.
Calling his elimination an emotional scene, a user took to X and posted:

Stating that Saqib had been eliminated because of the wazir’s wrong decision, a user added:
Everyone is starting to feel guilty that Saqib Bhai was eliminated because of Zayb, but votes matter and he could have been saved later too.
Zayb should at least have been given a chance to play his game instead of being completely sidelined—very biased#Tamasha5— 𝗭𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗸𝗵 (@ZohairA28116035) September 5, 2026
With the onus of the elimination landing on Zayb, Saqib’s exit before Hamza Johar left the audience shocked, calling it an unbearable fact, a netizen added:
So more people voted for Hamza than Saqib
Jao kisi or ko bhudu bnao
I am shocked over the fact ke Hamza ko votes mil bhi rahy hein but Saqib se zyada hein ye to unbardashtable fact hai#Tamasha5 pic.twitter.com/WJHeywVysS— Saha🕸 (@sverizz10) September 6, 2026
Another user called his early exit insulting; a user stated:
Although Saqib Sameer elimination was not shocking but him leaving before Hamza is insulting. That guy is doing absolutely nothing and is extremely unlikeable. There is no way people voted for him more than Saqib
