Bigg Boss 15 contestant Umar Riaz’s camaraderie with Karan Kundrra was one the most talked-about aspect of this season of Bigg Boss 15. Though Umar has been evicted from the show, Karan still talks about him and remembers him. While Umar and Karan’s bond caught everyone’s attention, the friction between Umar and Tejasswi was also evident. Just after Umar’s eviction, Tejasswi was seen accusing him of backbiting.
Umar talked about it in a recent interview with ETimes TV and shared, “To be honest, what Tejasswi says about me doesn’t affect me at all. Because I don’t consider her my friend. If my people Karan Kundrra, Rajiv Adatia, or Rashami Desai say something about me that will really affect me or hurt me. But honestly, what Tejasswi has to say about me honestly doesn’t matter to me. She never mattered to me in the game and will never matter to me in my life too.”
He added, “I never had any personal problems with Tejasswi and in fact, we bonded quite well initially. I supported her and took her to the VIP room and that time she was not even my friend, I did it because she was Karan Kundrra’s girlfriend. For me, a friend’s friend is my friend. But when her behavior started changing I had problems with her. When she got a few powers her attitude changed. I was very humble and down to earth but she changed drastically and talked to others with authority and I did not appreciate this. I felt everyone was equal in the show and just because I have a VIP tag it doesn’t mean I need to get rude with people.”
Umar also talked about how he always dreamt of lifting the trophy and said, “I feel blessed to have people who supported me in such large numbers on social media. The eviction was certainly unfair. It was disappointing to come so close to the finale and get evicted like this. But the love and appreciation I’ve got from people, I am content with it. Obviously, in my dreams, I always visualized standing with Salman Khan sir on stage and he holding my hand. Winning or losing was secondary, but I just wanted to be on that stage with Salman sir holding my hand. It was my dream to be on the finale, so that disappointment is there. But I am content with the love I’ve got from people,” he concluded.
