Rajat Dalal calls Asim Riaz very 'misunderstood': 'Log uska gussa dekhte hain, wo mann ka..'

Rajat Dalal, who rose to fame with his stint on Colors TV's Bigg Boss 18, recently got in an exclusive chat with India Forums and spoke about the viral video of his 'infamous spat' with Battleground co contestant Asim Riaz.

Speaking about the video and him being good friends with the Bigg Boss 13 runner up later on, Rajat said, ''Hum dono toh starting se hi achhe dost thhe, ab bhi ache dost hai, bhai ki tarah hai aur bahut pyaar se rehte hai.'' (We have been good friends from the very beginning, and we still are. He’s like a brother to me, and we share a very loving bond.)

Further heaping praises on Asim, the Bigg Boss 18 fame states that people only see his anger. ''Asim na mann ka bahut saaf hai, bahut saare log gusse ko dekh lete hai toh aisa lagta hai ke usme ego hai. Uski bhi apni life ki kuch situations hui hogi, learnings hui hogi jiske taur pe woh aisa ek part dikhta hai. Par ek bahut pyaara funny part bhi hai, ek bahut pyaara part jo kabhi dikh nahi paata. Kyunki mere hisab se na wo vlogging karta hai aur na idhar udhar jyda ghumta hai. Toh wo thoda misunderstood hai, log uske bare mein thoda galat sochte hai,'' Rajat further added. (Asim is very pure at heart. Many people just see his anger and think he has an ego. But he must have gone through certain situations and learnings in life, because of which this side of him shows. But there's also a very sweet and funny side to him, a lovely side that never really gets seen. I think it's because he doesn’t vlog or go around much. So, he’s a bit misunderstood—people think wrongly about him)

Asim na mann ka bahut saaf hai, bahut saare log gusse ko dekh lete hai toh aisa lagta hai ke usme ego hai. Uski bhi apni life ki kuch situations hui hogi, learnings hui hogi jiske taur pe woh aisa ek part dikhta hai. Par ek bahut pyaara funny part bhi hai, ek bahut pyaara part jo kabhi dikh nahi paata.
