Umar Riaz was indeed one of the strongest contestants on the popular reality show ‘Bigg Boss 15’. During his stint inside BB house, Riaz grabbed headlines owing to his fights with Pratik Sehjapal, his strong bond with fellow housemate Karan Kundrra and of course for his growing proximity with Rashami Desai. In no time, Umar and Rashami became very close friends on the show and were often seen supporting each other. Now when Umar is out of the show, he has been quite vocal about his relationship with Desai. He asserted that they are very good friends.
In an exclusive chat with SpotboyE.com, Umar opened up about his relationship with Rashami and admitted that they both started liking each other on the show and that there was a sense of closeness between them. Umar shared, “We were very good friends because she was there in my brother Asim's season. They had shared a good bond and after-show got over, we were in constant touch with each other. So, when she came to Bigg Boss 15 since I am always there for my people, I had in my mind that I had to support her. She also supported me in the game. We were just good friends.”
Interestingly, there was a certain section of people who think that Umar- Rashami created their love angle just for the game. Reacting to this, the doctor said, “No, I never created any love angle for the show. If I wanted to create, I would have done it way before when everyone did it. Whether it was Karan, Tejaswi or Ieshaan- Miesha, I would have done a love angle at that time. It was just that when Rashmi Desai came into the game, we were good friends and we started liking each other on the show. We supported each other so there was a sense of closeness between us. But it was never for the show.”
For the unversed, Umar Riaz got evicted, a few weeks ahead of the finale after his showdown with Pratik Sehjapal. During a task, he got into a physical fight with Sehjapal following which Bigg Boss announced that the audience would decide whether he deserves to be in the show or not. On Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan announced Umar’s shocking eviction.
