Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14: In a dramatic turn of events during the second episode of the reality show, contestant Asim Riaz found himself at the centre of controversy after a heated argument with host Rohit Shetty and other contestants. The incident unfolded during a challenging task involving flag collection from a seesaw, where only the top performers would avoid elimination. While fellow contestants Aashish Mehrotra and Niyati Fatnani completed the task successfully, Asim struggled and failed.
Frustrated by his performance, Asim expressed his dissatisfaction with the difficulty of the task, insisting, “Do it in front of me. I won’t take a rupee from you guys. If you do it, I won’t take a rupee; the camera is on.” In response, Rohit played a rehearsal video showing that the task was indeed achievable, explaining that the crew performs the stunts before assigning them to contestants. Rohit reminded Asim of his previous complaints, saying, “Kal bhi tune bohot bakwaas ki” (You also said a lot of nonsense yesterday).
Asim attempted to defend himself, claiming, “Sir, there’s no problem. I am very sorted.” However, Rohit, clearly irritated, issued a warning: “Sun meri baat sun le varna main utha kar yahin patak dunga” (Listen to me, otherwise I will knock you down right here). The tension escalated when Asim confronted Rohit, leading fellow contestant Abhishek Kumar to intervene and ask Asim to calm down. Ignoring the advice, Asim shouted, “Don’t f**k with me. I’m 31 years old and have been in the industry for 15 years. Who are you talking about? You just got famous.”
This clip is enough to show who poked whom first!

At this point he is showing complete psychotic behaviour " mere paas kitna paisa hai ", " 6 mahine me gaadi badalta hu",
And people who are still supporting him are a menace to the society#KhatronKeKhiladiS14 #KKK14#AsimRiaz #AbhishekKumar pic.twitter.com/3pHZUk4rhl
Asim’s outburst continued, claiming, “The money you guys are giving me, I earn triple of it. I have so much money you can’t even imagine. Mai 6 mahine me 4 gaadi badalta hu” (I change four cars within six months). His comments about the other contestants being “losers” only heightened the conflict.
Despite efforts from the crew to calm the situation, Asim remained agitated, asserting, “You see the buzz around the internet. It is because of me, bro.” In an unexpected move, Asim stormed off the set, leaving Rohit Shetty stunned. The filmmaker expressed his disappointment, remarking that he had hosted many contestants but had never encountered such disrespect.
In the aftermath, Rohit announced Asim’s expulsion from the show, saying, “I wish him all the luck but now he can’t continue in this show. He has a point of view, no doubt about it, and I respect that. I wish him all the luck. He is a young kid and may God bless him with success.”
