Seriously man, as incredibly frustrating as it was being an Asim fan during the show: it has been just as incredibly rewarding after the show.
Right now, the level of work is unprecedented. I remember the last time this much career-related buzz surrounded a contestant was Gautam but unfortunately due to some bad luck (films with him as the lead getting shelved) and bad timing (he took his sweet time to decide between offers), it didn't end up so well for him. Still, his career is going great now and he is making a proper supporting actor's entry in a huge massy commercial Salman movie this year, so he ended up doing well.
Asim is in the make-or-break stage. Personally, I think the Holi song with Jackie is destined to succeed (fingers crossed) because its a well-time festival number with a dance beat (will be played in parties), has a big Bollywood actor involved to add to the Asim craze, and the video seems like a really fun, cute, creative project with the princess/prince theme. T-Series and Jackie/Asim on social media are doing an excellent job promoting it as well. Now, if Asim can follow up this project with other successes in the coming months, he will really strike longterm gold. Even all this DJ Snake buzz is excellent for him since its really helping his social media game, which is very important nowadays. My best wishes and permanent support are with him. After a decade of struggle, countless commercials/short films/movies as a background extra, and being treated like shit by a huge national platform (including being victim-blamed for repeated physical assault), he is finally getting what he deserves. ❤️
