This win has been tainted forever in the history of BB! 🥳
Cool. 😎 Party Time
Asim Riaz: For someone who’s come from nowhere, becoming the first runner-up is a big deal.
TNNRead on...
He may not have walked away with the trophy, but Asim Riaz, who was declared first runner-up of 'Bigg Boss 13', has won hearts. Minutes after the results were announced, BT caught up with him for a candid chat. Excerpts...
You were called names, including nalla inside the house, but you defeated all of them except Sidharth Shukla. Given that you were relatively unknown, you have come a long way, today. How would you sum up your journey?
I feel blessed. I believe that the audience empathised with me because I showed every emotion — good or bad — uncut and raw. All of it was real. Whatever I am today is because of the audience and they have made me reach so far. I am happy for Sidharth. Mujh mein bhi wohi junoon tha. For someone who has come from nowhere, becoming the first runner-up is a big deal. If you ask me, I haven’t lost. Main jeeta hi hoon. It’s the format of the show that only one person emerges as the winner. As far as calling me names, log kuchh bhi bole, but I am standing here today. Log bolte hain aur maine karke dikhaaya (smiles).
Would you give at least some credit for reaching so far on the show to Sidharth, as it was your fight with him that put you in focus for most part? As Salman Khan, the host of the show, once said, ‘Sabka mudda Sidharth Shukla se hi hai. Lagta hai wohi show chala raha hai...’
The same goes for him, too. Unka bhi nahi dikhta. Woh logon ka nazariya hoga ki main unke saath ladta tha. Main jahaan se dekhta hoon toh mujhe hamesha hi neeche dikhaane mein sab lage the. I felt that I was being targeted every time from my accent to the fact that I wore perfume worth `150. I didn’t know English when I moved to Mumbai. Tab sab bolte the ki chhote sheher se hai toh baat kahaan karega. Jab English seekhi, tab bola accent aa gaya. They don’t see the positive side... when they mock me, it reflects their, personality not mine.
Sidharth and you started off as great friends, but turned foes, eventually. Do you regret that the friendship went south with him?
I didn’t know anyone inside the house, as I come from the world of modelling. My friendship with Sidharth happened organically. However later, misunderstandings seeped in and I had to take a stand because it was about my self respect. I don’t regret anything, apart from the extra ladaai. Everything is fine between us as of now.
Is aggression your strongest emotion, which can also be your weakness? Is the real Asim aggressive?
You are in the house for so many weeks, toh aapko nahi pata chalta aapne kitna aur kya kiya. In the real world, I can control my aggression.
For many, it looked as if you forged friendship on the basis of convenience. From Sidharth to Shefali Jariwala and eventually to Rashami Desai, it seemed you made friends for your game...
It’s their point of view that my friendships were based on convenience, but mere end se main real tha. Maine apni dosti nibhayi, but beech mein aisi harkatein hui ki mujhe unki dosti fake lagi. I didn’t appreciate it and so, moved on.
In an interview with BT, Shefali mentioned that you had initially hit on her and she told you that she is married and much older. What do you have to say about it?
I never hit on her. Dosti thi aur bahut comfortable zone mein the. I knew she was married. Neither of us hit on the other. It won’t make any sense if I react to it because I haven’t said anything of that sort.
Talking about being real, many felt that your marriage proposal to Himanshi Khurana was fake...
I was excited to see her. I would talk to the imaginary her when she wasn’t inside the house for two months. I fell in love with her. Baaki logo ko lagta tha ki main baahar aa kar badal jaunga. I told her that what mattered to me was her opinion and our love for each other. It wasn’t for the cameras. We are in a relationship and want to know each other more in the outside world.
So, what about the girl who was rumoured to be your girlfriend (Shruti Tuli) outside and the rumours that you were engaged to her?
There was no engagement. I was in a relationship. I didn’t shy away from admitting to my past, sab ka hota hai. The relationship ended long before I entered the BB house. What I feel for Himanshi is real.
What next?
I want to do films and rap as well. My attitude is positive and I am certain that my future is bright. I will take up every opportunity that comes my way. I have always dreamt of doing films and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Salman Khan’s role as Bigg Boss host under scanner after Siddharth Shukla sensationally admits his mistake on angry outbursts against Asim Riaz
Days after being crowned as the Bigg Boss winner, Siddharth Shukla has sensationally admitted that he felt sad about his angry outbursts against fellow contestants particularly Asim Riaz inside the Colors TV’s reality show house. His stunning confession will give credence to critics who had questioned Salman Khan’s role after the Bollywood megastar turned a blind eye to Dil Se Dil Tak actor’s violent and abusive behaviour.
In his first radio interview after winning the Bigg Boss title, Siddharth explained why felt sad about his aggressive behaviour inside the house. He said, “Once we had somebody come in and Rajat Sharma ji (India TV founder) was here. I had this whole Aap Ki Adaalat moment with him. And then I saw what I had done. So, of course you feel bad. But that’s not exactly who I am. Any of that was not true.”
Siddharth had faced plenty of heat towards the last leg of the reality show as India TV founder Rajat Sharma decided to expose him for his shenanigans. Sharma had stunned Shukla by revealing that some members of the public had sent him at least eight videos showing the latter’s physical assault on Asim Riaz. Sharma had said, “This is your problem. You don’t give importance to anybody other than yourself…As for Asim, members of the public have sent me videos. You pushed him eight times.”
Siddharth revealed that his first fight with Asim had left him shaken since he considered the latter as his younger brother. He said, “Yes, because there was a lot of emotion that I had invested in that guy. I actually took him as my younger brother. When things went astray, it was sad. When Rohit (Shetty) sir had come, I was teary-eyed because there were a lot of exchanges we had. I was feeling embarrassed and sorry about it.”
The Bigg Boss winner was asked about one fight that stayed the longest in his mind. Siddharth replied, “I think it was my first altercation with Asim which stayed longer with me because that’s not something I expected from him. There were a lot of words exchanged which I would have never associated him to talk like that to me or say things to me. But he did. So that’s the only thing that stayed with me longer.”

Sad that Salman & Colors ruined their image over a terrible person like Shukla.
Blueprint of a Bully: The Ugly Truth Behind Sidharth Shukla’s Bigg Boss Season 13 Win
Illustration: Shruti Yatam
BY ANANYA N FEB. 24, 2020
From body-shaming fellow contestants to making fun of the #MeToo movement, as well as getting physically violent with contestants both male and female, Sidharth Shukla seems to have done it all while on Bigg Boss Season 13
The supposedly mindless act of watching Bigg Boss Season 13 is actually a mammoth undertaking. 140 days. 139 episodes, of 60 to 90 minutes each. And yet, I’ve managed to consume it all, and then some. I’ve been a Bigg Boss addict for several seasons now, and everytime the show airs its grand finale, I feel a gaping, reality TV-shaped hole in my life.
“Yeah, a part of mine wants to cut that part and throw it out, and the other part wants to keep it. And the latter is haavi on the part that wants to throw it out,” is what Bigg Boss host and expert at being human, Salman Khan, said when addressing rumours of him leaving the show. I feel the same way. I love it enough to not miss a single episode, but it also induces a feeling of guilt. Normally, it’s just the routine guilt of being the type of person who watches Bigg Boss, but this season, there was more to that feeling. It went beyond the demand for trash TV; it felt like being witness to something that made me deeply uncomfortable and being a part that furthered it along.
Bigg Boss has always been a wet dream for those who love drama, and Season 13 stayed the course. Moving beyond the token star-attraction, we saw some of the biggest faces of Indian television — Sidharth Shukla, Rashmi Desai, Arti Singh, Mahira Sharma, Vishal Singh, Madhurima Tuli, Paras Chhabra, and others — fiercely battle it out for the title of Cringiest of Them All. The show also saw not-so-popular celebs (also known as the B-list’s B-list), Shehnaz Gill and Asim Riaz climb the charts of fame with their attention-grabbing antics. For the first time, Bigg Boss even resorted to revealing shocking personal details of contestants with no correlation whatsoever to the ongoings of the house in a timely fashion to keep the ratings up. However, one celebrity who managed to remain in the limelight despite constantly erupting scandals was Sidharth Shukla.
What we saw on national television was the blueprint of a bully, a toxic man-child, stubborn and without grace in defeat.
The popular star of Balika Vadhu fame and now Bigg Boss Season 13’s winner, Shukla emerged as one of the most controversial contestants from day one. His rumoured exes Rashami Desai, Shefali Jariwala, and Arti Singh being in the same house as competitors this season only added fuel to fire. Even before Bigg Boss though, Sidharth seems to have waded into one controversy after another. Known to be the king of tantrums in TV insider circles, the actor’s claim to fame include an arrest in a rash driving case, alleged misbehaviour with female co-actors including Rashami Desai, Sheetal Khandal, Toral Rasputra, and more recently ShilpaShinde’s shocking revelation of physical abusewhen they were “dating” many moons ago. His latest stint in Bigg Boss then only seems to have put up for public display what TV insiders already acknowledge in whispers.
What we saw on national television was the blueprint of a bully, a toxic man-child, stubborn and without grace in defeat. There’s hardly an episode where we didn’t see him get physically violent and abusive towards fellow contestants, which included brazenly pushing women in tasks. His bad-tempered and ill-mannered personality showcased on TV night after night didn’t seem to deter his fans. Despite being nominated by Bigg Boss himself for his violent behaviour, and being subtly chided by Salman too for his aggression on numerous occasions, Shukla appears to have won all the popular votes. It was almost as if it’s still the early ’90s and it’s cool to say, “Aww, but men will be men. Male ego you know!”
Whatever happened to Bigg Boss’ strict action against the physical violence “niyam ulanghan”? Whether it was him pushing Mahira Sharma early in the show during a task, repeatedly assaulting Asim Riaz, or holding Shehnaz Gill by her neck and pinning her to the ground, the makers appeared to have gone out of their way to justify his actions instead of evicting him. Who can forget how he assassinated Rashami Desai’s character in the “aisi ladki” fight? Or him repeatedly dismissing “good friend” Arti Singh and calling her dumb on national television? Besides threatening male contestants by asking them to meet him outside the house, Shukla also used any and every opportunity to pass derogatory remarks and insult housemates. From body-shaming fellow contestants to making fun of the #MeToo movement, he seems to have done it all. Truly the signs of a winner!
As much as his fans are to be blamed for his popularity in Bigg Boss Season 13, one can’t ignore the fact that the makers seemed to have turned a blind eye to every wrongdoing in the garb of entertainment. In the four-and-a-half months that the show aired on TV, Shukla’s problematic, abusive behaviour was consistently brushed off as an angry young man who just happens to react when provoked. Both the host and Bigg Boss seemed careful in their choice of words when scolding him. It’s hard not to notice this when in the past seasons contestants have been evicted for similar behaviour. It also makes one wonder then if Bigg Boss was biased towards Shukla in its bid for TRPs. If true, by making him victorious, Bigg Boss has set a terrible precedent.
It’s 2020 and only obvious to expect reality show makers know the difference between voyeuristic TV and giving abusive men a platform. For the first time in years, I’m glad the show has ended. Disappointed as I am with Bigg Boss Season 13, in our lord and saviour Salman Khan’s own words, “It gets stressful, but I learn a lot. And I get to know where the country is going, what is happening to values, morals, scruples and principles. We see it right there, with celebrities.”
