1. Asim Riaz vs Sidharth Shukla in ‘Bigg Boss 13’
Well, this could be easily called his biggest controversy/fight of all time. During his stint on Bigg Boss 13, Asim often got into arguments with Sidharth Shukla, who, on the other hand, was equally short-tempered. However, the two would later make up and hang around together as if nothing happened between them. But once, they had a very ugly clash that revolved around a captaincy task, after which they got involved in a heated argument. The tensions slowly escalated with the fight turning physical. Sidharth Shukla was seen shoving Asim Riaz away during their brawl. The late actor even received a penalty for his behaviour.
2. Asim Riaz and Himanshi Khurana’s Breakup
Asim Riaz didn't just make headlines in Bigg Boss 13 for his fights with Sidharth Shukla but also due to his love affair with co-contestant Himanshi Khurana. Their relationship became one of the most discussed topics on the show, and they started dating each other. However, the couple decided to mutually part ways after dating for four years. As per media reports, their breakup was "quite messy", and the main reason behind their split was their religion.
3. Asim Riaz vs Rohit Shetty and Abhishek Kumar in ‘KKK14’
The most recent incident due to which the rapper-actor has been grabbing all the headlines is Asim Riaz was expelled from Rohit Shetty's Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 episode 1, which aired on July 27 on Colors TV and JioCinema. The drama kicked off when Asim Riaz, unable to complete a challenging task, challenged the crew that the stunt was impossible to perform and that if anyone performed the same, he wouldn't charge a single penny. Things escalated quickly after a heated argument with Abhishek Kumar, leading Riaz to call out other contestants as well. The situation got even worse when Riaz disrespected the host, Rohit Shetty, prompting the show’s producers to decide to remove him from KKK14. ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’: Former ‘Bigg Boss’ Contestant Abhishek Kumar Reacts to His Clash With Asim Riaz, Says ‘Mujhe Jealousy Factor Dikh Gaya Tha’ (Watch Video).
