In an exclusive conversation with Times Now/ Telly Talk India, Abu Malik opened up about the controversy surrounding Asim Riaz on the set of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. Asim Riaz, who rose to fame after his stint on Bigg Boss 13, found himself in hot water during the shoot in Romania.
Abu Malik, who was a co-contestant with Asim on Bigg Boss 13, did not hold back in his assessment of Asim’s behavior. He described Asim as an insecure man with a bad temper, stating, “A leopard can’t change his skin no matter what. He is a guy who flares up… He has a lot of inbuilt insecurity.”
Malik also revealed that Asim had refused to stay in touch with him after Bigg Boss 13 because Malik favored Sidharth Shukla. Despite their past interactions, Malik expressed his observations about Asim’s behavior, including his arrogance and suspicion about taking care of himself.
The controversy on the set of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 stemmed from Asim’s refusal to perform a dangerous stunt, leading to arguments with host Rohit Shetty and fellow contestants. Asim’s statement about buying a car every three months further fueled the tension on set.
Ultimately, Asim Riaz managed to return to the show after apologizing to Rohit Shetty. However, Abu Malik’s candid remarks shed light on the underlying issues that led to the controversy and highlighted Asim’s complex personality.
