Asim Riaz Takes Dig at 'Bigg Boss 20'; Netizens Remind Him of His BB13 Journey

Asim Riaz, who rose to fame after his stint on 'Bigg Boss 13', has sparked fresh controversy with his comments on the newly launched season of the reality show. Shortly after the premiere of 'Bigg Boss 20', hosted by Salman Khan, the actor and model took to X and wrote, "Another Flop Season Loading."

His post quickly went viral, attracting a wave of reactions from social media users. While some agreed with his opinion, many others came to the defense of the long-running reality show, arguing that it continues to enjoy immense popularity and remains one of the most-discussed television franchises in India.

Netizens School Asim Riaz:

Several netizens were quick to challenge Asim's claim that the new season would fail. One user commented, "Every season flop bolna bhi ek routine ban gaya hai... difference bas itna hai ki Bigg Boss har saal trend karta hai, aur tumhare predictions har saal flop hote hain."

Another user reminded Asim of his own association with the show and wrote, "Your time has passed. You're just a runner-up, so stay quiet and watch the show. Remember that Salman Khan is the host of Bigg Boss, so watch your words."

A third social media user, who claimed to have supported Asim during his season, criticized his remarks and said, "I used to support this guy during BB13, and he's still the same irritable and insecure man... You can't compare TV ratings with today's digital era, where almost 80% of people watched on their phones."

Users Tell Asim To Move On:

As the debate gained momentum, several users suggested that Asim should let go of his connection with the reality show and focus on his present career. One comment read, "Bro, why do you feel like the world won't even keep turning without you?"

Another user wrote, "Bro, you call it a flop every year, yet BB trends every year. You may be a runner, but the show will always be run by Salman Khan." Taking a swipe at his professional work, another person commented, "Yes, just like your recent music."

Some users also questioned why Asim continues to comment on the show years after his season ended. One netizen wrote, "Looks like someone still hasn't grown up from the show yet." Another asked, "What's up with you these days? Haven't seen your work anywhere after BB13."
