Bigg Boss 15: Netizens want to know why Umar Riaz is being targeted; accuse makers & contestants of defaming him

After Asim Riaz emerged as the first runner up of Bigg Boss 13, buzz had suggested that his brother Umar Riaz, who is a surgeon by profession, was all set to enter the house for season 14. Things did not materialize, but this year Umar finally became a part of the show as a contestant of BB season 15. He has a charming personality and has made good bonds with almost all the housemates. During tasks, fans also get to see his ‘hulk mode’. He has successfully emerged as a strong contestant with a unique personality very different from his brother’s.

However, many members of the audience feel that Umar is not getting the respect he deserves, and are annoyed at the fact that Asim’s name is brought up every now and then. For the uninitiated, in last night’s episode, Vishal Kotian and Afsana Khan roasted the contestant during their Qawwali performance. They claimed that he got a chance to enter the house because of Asim, which has not gone down well with netizens. Fans are also wondering why Umar is being targeted by the contestants, makers and host Salman Khan, who cracked a joke on his profession yesterday.

While a few are busy trolling him, contestants like Pratik Sehajpal, Rajiv Adatia and Nishant Bhat consider Umar to be an entertaining housemate and strong competition. Post her eviction, even Vidhi Pandya had shared how Umar is different from Asim. That’s not all! Recently eliminated contestant Akasa Singh has also expressed her fondness for the handsome hunk on social media.

Well, we are sure fans will be happy to see that there are so many people supporting Umar among a few haters.
