Actor Aasif Khan discusses Bigg Boss 20 journey and controversies

The actor spoke about his experience on the reality show and his reaction to insensitive remarks made by Qazi Touqeer.

Actor Aasif Khan recently spoke about his journey on Bigg Boss 20 following his elimination from the show, according to a Times of India TV exclusive. The actor, who hails from Nimbada in Chittorgarh district, described being part of the programme as a dream come true.

Khan addressed a heated confrontation with Qazi Touqeer regarding an insensitive remark about heart attacks. He stated that the topic is personal as his father passed away due to a heart attack. He said that if someone makes insensitive remarks, they should be ready to take responsibility and apologise rather than swearing on parents.

The actor also touched upon the controversy involving romantic reels with Love Gill and the Scout-Love drama. He noted that he initially felt there was bias in the show, but later realised it was a pattern of the game. He admitted that the show had also favoured him at times, such as when Bigg Boss introduced BB News as a task.

Reflecting on feedback from Salman Khan, the actor said he changed his approach to play individually. He mentioned that being called the epitome of badtameez by the host did not affect him much because of the hardships he has faced in life, including a stint in the ICU.

Khan, who moved to Mumbai in 2009 and released his first film in 2019, said people in his hometown are planning a rally to celebrate his return. He has previously appeared in shows such as Mirzapur and Panchayat.
