This whole thing about Umar not being deserving enough to warrant a spot in a show of this stature, has come down to one word for most, that is nepotism.

Chalo, I'll entertain this notion that Asim indeed got his brother onto the show like Shamita's last name got her on the show, for the third time. But the similarity stops there, because unlike Shamita, Umar isn't protected by the entire team of the show and the host. On the contrary, his scenes are usually cut, he's put down and made fun of on a weekly basis and is demoralised.
At least to me, the issue isn't if Umar or Shamita got here because of their family, it is the advantages Shamita is given week after week with a free pass that entails there's no repercussions to her actions, whether good or bad. She is and will not be called out like the way others are when they make mistakes and this bothers me.
I haven't seen BB 13 and naturally do not know what Asim was like during his stay inside the house but Umar is a contestant I like, I don't care if he's playing just like his brother did. He gets a little aggressive in tasks but so does everyone else, I'm sure if he wouldn't then these same people would be like that guy is a snoozefest and doesn't do anything. I've been liking him more now because he's clearly being cornered by the makers because he has a bone to pick with their favourite.
