Umar lashes out
Umar, brother of Asim Riaz, was a part of Bigg Boss 15. He had a tumultuous stint on the show, eventually facing eviction after a physical altercation with another contestant. Now, he has taken to social media to express his discontent, sharing posts that highlight favouritism towards contestants who got violent in the show.
Umar took to Instagram to post Stories talking about a task during this season where his forehead was injured. He stressed that no action was taken at that time by the makers.
Umar wrote, “Face injury bollocks. I wish I could have shown my forehead scars during my task. I am sure the channel didn’t show, coz I was never their nepo child.”
Umar was referring to an ugly fight between Karanveer and Rajat Dalal last week. During the altercation, Karanveer’s specs broke which led to an injury below the eye. After this, Vivian Dsena was seen defending Karanveer. No action was taken against the contestants for the violence in the show, which is against the rules.
More from the past
Umar Riaz’s criticism of the Bigg Boss makers is not an isolated incident. In 2022, following his eviction from the 15th season of the show, Umar expressed his discontent to the Times of India, feeling that he had been unfairly branded as aggressive. He said, “I feel that I was given the tag of being aggressive right from the beginning. Yes, I was aggressive in tasks, but I’ve never physically pushed or hit anyone. It was said that I was warned earlier too, but I don’t remember when was I given any warning. Then they said my eviction was based on the audience’s vote. But when I came out of the house, I got to know that most people were only showering love on me, so how was this eviction based on janta’s decision?”
