Asim Riaz, one of the contestants who was evicted from KKK 14, has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. First, he got into a spat with the host, Rohit Shetty, on the show, which led to his ouster. Riaz now seems to have issued an indirect threat to co-contestant Niyati Fatnani, who recently spoke out against him. She alleged that Asim’s behaviour towards Rohit Shetty was disrespectful and crossed many boundaries. According to Niyati, Asim made several derogatory remarks directed towards Rohit, which the channel chose to edit out and not broadcast.
For the uninitiated, Riaz was evicted from KKK 14 for his alleged misbehaviour with Shetty and his co-contestants after trouble began during a task assigned to Riaz, Mehrotra, and Fatnani. In the task, they were required to collect flags on a see-saw. While Mehrotra and Fatnani succeeded in the task, Riaz failed and blamed the team for setting an impossible challenge.
What did Asim Riaz say about Niyati Fatnani?
On Tuesday evening, Riaz took to his X handle and shared a cryptic message that read, “Some people just need a high-five in the face with a chair.” This came just a day after Fatnani shared some details about a raging outburst by Riaz during a shoot, which had been edited out of the aired episode. According to her, things escalated to a level where Shetty’s bodyguards needed to intervene as a precautionary measure.
What happened between Riaz and Shetty?
Fatnani says Riaz lost his temper and told the team to perform the task in front of him. Shetty replied that there was a rehearsal video where the task was completed safely, following which a war of words erupted between the two. An angry Shetty told Riaz, “Kal bhi tune bahot bakwaas ki, [You spoke a lot of nonsense yesterday as well]” and warned him, “Sun meri baat sunle warna mein utha ke yahi patak dunga. Aise mere se badtameezi nahi karna. [You better listen to me or I will smack you right here. Don’t you dare speak to me like this.]” Despite these warnings, Riaz continued misbehaving and was thus ousted from the show.
It seems that after Fatnani added more fuel to the fire with her comments, Riaz didn’t take it too kindly, and his cryptic post was a direct response to her remarks. These reactions have gone viral on social media as fans and followers weigh in on the controversy. All we can say is that this is a controversy we could do without. The show is nearing its finale, and watching it is more fun than witnessing this mud-slinging match.
