During second episode of Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14, Asim Riaz was asked to leave the show following a heated argument with host Rohit Shetty and fellow contestants.
The second episode of Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14 saw some high-octane drama when contestant Asim Riaz was asked to leave the show following a heated argument with the host Rohit Shetty and fellow contestants. His behaviour escalated tensions, leading Rohit to warn him, saying, “Utha ke yahi patak dunga (I’ll knock you right here).” The incident began during a task where Asim, Aashish Mehrotra and Niyati Fatnani had to collect flags from a seesaw. Only the top performers would be safe from elimination. While Aashish and Niyati successfully completed the task, Asim failed at it.
Frustrated by his failure, Asim argued that the task was impossible and challenged the team, saying, “Do it in front of me. I won’t take a rupee from you guys. If you do it, I won’t take a rupee, camera is on.” In response, Rohit showed a rehearsal video where a team completed the task safely. He also explained that the crew always performs the stunts first before assigning them to the contestants.
Following this, Rohit asked Asim, “Now what do you want to say?” Asim responded calmly, “Sir, there’s no problem. I am very sorted.” However, Rohit then reminded him, “Kal bhi tune bohot bakwaas ki (Yesterday also you said a lot of nonsense).” As Asim tried to explain himself, Rohit, visibly irritated, warned him, “Sun meri baat sunle varna main utha kar yahin patak dunga. Aise mere se badtameezi nahi karna (Listen to me, otherwise I will thrash you here. Don’t misbehave with me here).”
Asim didn’t back down and walked towards Rohit, prompting TV actor Abhishek Kumar to intervene and ask him to return to his place. Ignoring the advice, Asim lost his temper, shouting, “Don’t f**k with me. I’m 31 years old and have been in the industry for 15 years. Who are you talking about? You just got famous,” he told Abhishek.
The crew tried to calm Asim down, but he continued shouting, “The money that you guys are giving me, I earn triple of it. I have so much money you can’t even imagine. Mai 6 mahine me 4 gaadi badalta hu (I change four cars within six months). Do you think I need that money? It is for the fans I was here, not for these losers.” Asim’s comment about the other contestants being “losers” triggered Abhishek, who retaliated.
Despite the crew’s attempts to diffuse the situation, Asim continued to shout, saying, “You see the buzz around the internet. It is because of me, bro. Do you get it? It’s after four years because whenever I come, even after 10 years, it’s the same buzz. Otherwise, yeh aata jaata pata nahi chalta (He comes and go without anyone noticing).”
Asim stormed off in anger. A stunned Rohit Shetty remarked that he had hosted many contestants but this incident was a shock.
The disappointment in rohit’s voice is kinda sad, this man has been doing this show for a decade & literally treated everyone like his kids, had fun with them, encourage them, praise them, scold them, bt no one ever disrespected him like asim did..pity#KhatronKeKhiladi14 #KKK14 pic.twitter.com/vZ9rYk75y8— AiSh TLG (@MeeeAisha) July 28, 2024
The filmmaker then announced Asim’s expulsion from the show, saying, “I wish him all the luck but now he can’t continue in this show. He has a point of view, no doubt about it and I respect that. I wish him all the luck. He is a young kid and may god bless him with success.”
