Asim Riaz Faces Controversy Following His Exit from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14
Asim Riaz, known for his participation in Bigg Boss 13, finds himself in the news once more, but under less than favorable circumstances. Recently, he was eliminated from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 after a fiery argument with host Rohit Shetty and fellow contestants. A video clip circulating online captures Asim addressing the show’s editing choices, asserting that producers have selectively presented his reactions while omitting the full context of events.
In the viral clip, Asim expresses his frustration by stating, “They say somebody is ruining the internet. It’s okay. It’s an action, there’s reaction. But they only show my reaction. They don’t show action. They chop the clips and they show my reactions.” This remark highlights his concerns about how reality shows manipulate footage to shape narratives.
Background Context:
Asim’s exit from the show occurred during a confrontational moment in the second episode, where he referred to other contestants as ‘losers.’ His comment did not go over well with Rohit Shetty, who issued a stern warning: “Utha ke yahi patak dunga,” (I’ll knock you right here). This tense exchange culminated in Asim’s departure from the competition.
The dispute arose during a task that required Asim, along with Aashish Mehrotra and Niyati Fatnan, to gather flags from a seesaw, with only the top two performers securing safety from elimination. Ultimately, Aashish and Niyati successfully completed the challenge, leaving Asim to face criticism from his peers for not meeting the expectations set for the team.
In response to his perceived failure, Asim remarked on the difficulty of the task and declared, “Do it in front of me. I won’t take a rupee from you guys. If you do it, I won’t take a rupee, camera is on.” Rohit then presented a rehearsal footage showing the team successfully executing the task beforehand, emphasizing that all challenges are pre-tested to ensure fairness.
Following Asim’s exit, Rohit Shetty commented, “I wish him all the luck but now he can’t continue in this show. He has a point of view, no doubt about it and I respect that. I wish him all the luck. He is a young kid and may God bless him with success.” This statement underscores the complexities of reality television dynamics and the pressures contestants face.
