Asim Riaz, a former contestant on the popular reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, has stirred up controversy once again. Two weeks after suddenly leaving the stunt-based series, Riaz took to social media and live performances to subtly criticize the show’s producers. This has reignited conversations about his dramatic exit and the reasons behind it.
For those who may not know, Riaz’s time on Khatron Ke Khiladi was short but filled with tension. Early on, he had multiple clashes with the show’s host, Rohit Shetty, and other contestants. Things came to a head when Riaz struggled with a particular task and, in frustration, challenged the producers, calling the task too difficult. During this outburst, he boasted about his financial success and insulted the other contestants, calling them “losers.” This led to a heated argument with both Shetty and fellow contestant Abhishek Kumar. Eventually, these conflicts resulted in Riaz being kicked off the show.
The latest twist in this story came when a video clip of Riaz during a live performance went viral. In the clip, Riaz indirectly criticized the show’s producers, saying, “They say someone is ruling the internet… They only showed my reaction, they don’t show action… They chop the clips, and they show my action, but it’s okay.” Although he didn’t mention the show or its producers by name, the timing and context strongly suggest he was referring to Khatron Ke Khiladi 14.
This is the first time Riaz has publicly spoken about his exit from the show, and his comments suggest he feels misrepresented by how his time on the show was edited. According to Riaz, the producers focused only on his reactions and conflicts, without showing the full story.
Riaz has also claimed that the show tried to exploit his popularity. He mentioned that he was earning far more than what the show paid him, which made him feel like the producers were using his fame for their benefit.
Riaz’s criticisms have sparked further debate about the behind-the-scenes dynamics of reality TV. While Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 continues to air, Riaz’s comments have added a new layer to the ongoing discussion about ethics and the treatment of participants in reality shows.
