Why Is Asim Riaz Ousted From Khatron Ke Khiladi 14? Mega Fight With Rohit Shetty EXPLAINED

Just a few hours after its premiere, Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 has been making headlines. Alas, for all the wrong reasons. Asim Riaz, one of the contestants on the stunt-based reality show, has left everyone shocked after his mega-fight with the filmmaker-host, Rohit Shetty. Here’s everything about the controversy you need to know:

Behind The Scenes: What Really Happened?

The trouble started during a task where Asim, Aashish Mehrotra and Niyati Fatnan had to collect flags from a seesaw. Aashish and Niyati finished the task and saved themselves from elimination. However, Asim could not. This led the others to tell Asim he needed to take responsibility for his failure. However, Asim claimed that the challenge was impossible and told the team, “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 Shetty then showed a rehearsal video where the team completed the task safely, explaining that they tested everything before contestants tried it.

Rohit Shetty then said, “Kal bhi tune bahot bakwaas ki (Yesterday also you said a lot of nonsense).” Refusing to listen to Asim, the angry filmmaker added, “Sun meri baat sunle warna mei utha ke yahi patak dunga. Aise mere se badtameezi nahi karna (Listen to be otherwise I will thrash you here. Don’t behave badly here).”

Asim then walked towards Rohit, until being stopped by the team. He even flaunted his money and claimed that he buys a new car every six months. “I have so much of money you can’t even imagine. I change four cars in six months. You think I need money? It is for the fans that I was here, not for these losers,” he said.

The Bigg Boss 13 fame even got into a fight with Abhishek Kumar and called him a “loser”. When Shalin Bhanot tried to calm down the situation, Asim refused to listen and went on to scream at his fellow contestants.

As a result, Asim was asked to leave the show. “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,” Shetty announced.

Kushal Tandon, Arjit Taneja SLAM Asim Riaz

After the videos of Asim Riaz from the sets of Khatron Ke Khiladi went viral on social media, several slammed him and questioned his behaviour. Among others, television actor Kushal Tandon and wrote, “Sohrat kya sohrat bro, Ek big boss? And what car he is flaunting about second hand cars ? Kitnaaa paisaaaa hain be ? Bank accounts details share karna , hats of to Rohit Shetty sir how he handled that crap huge respect for Rohit sir.”

Arjit Taneja also bashed Asim and shared, “I did Khatron Ke Khiladi last year and had one of the best times of my life. This guy is clearly deluded AF; it’s a stunt-based show, get over Bigg Boss. Nobody gives a f**k.”

Brother Umar Riaz Comes Out In Asim’s Support

However, amid all this, Umar Riaz has seemingly defended his brother Asim Riaz. Recently, Umar took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle and dropped a cryptic note which talked about “degrading” others. “Dont degrade someone to a level that their worst demons comes out! After that anything that happens is not justified and never will be! Love can do wonders to a person and hate can make a person his own worst enemy! Just saying!” it read.
