Bigg Boss 15: Here’s why Asim’s brother Umar Riaz felt a little pressure while entering the show

Asim Riaz’s surgeon-turned-actor brother Umar Riaz, who came to meet him during family week of Bigg Boss 13, entered the show as a contestant for season 15 this year. So far he is doing a great job and audiences especially love how sorted out he is. Netizens feel that he says what is on his mind, without unnecessarily sugarcoating it. For instance, in last night’s episode when he shared his honest opinion on the speed and authenticity of Miesha Iyer and Ieshaan Sehgaal’s relationship. Well, while Umar has looked confident since day 1, did you know that he felt a little pressure when he entered the BB house?

In an interview with ETimes before entering the show, Umar had shared, “I am not worried about the comparisons, but I’ve a little bit of pressure because Asim was part of such a successful season, I also have to perform well. I am going inside with a cool mind. I believe that life has given me this opportunity and I will give my 100 percent. I am not worried about the outcome. I don’t worry about getting eliminated after the first two weeks or after a month.”

He went on to add, “It also depends on my hard work and how much I am able to connect with the audiences. They connected with Asim, there are chances they might not connect with me. I am thinking about both success and failure both.” Well, audiences are loving him so far and are seeing him as a separate individual and not just Asim’s brother, so we don’t think Umar has anything to be worried about.
