Gashmeer Mahajani on Asim Riaz KKK 14’s controversy: 'Aukaat hi nahi hai '

Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 stirred up some drama when Asim Riaz clashed with fellow contestants Shalin Bhanot and Abhishek Kumar, even confronting host Rohit Shetty. Gashmeer Mahajani weighed in, pointing out that the situation was exaggerated as it was just a verbal spat.

In an interview with TellyChakkar, Gashmeer said, “Koi bhi contestant ho, Aukaat hi nahi hai kisiki ke koi Rohit Sir ko leke baat kare.. Toh unnko hum iss equation se bahar rakhte hai (Rohit sir should be kept out of this equation because no one should be speaking about him in relation to this show. None of us have the stature to comment on him. I’m saying this seriously. No contestant has the right to bring Rohit sir into this discussion, so we should leave him out of it).”

He continued, “If you ask for my opinion on the fight between the two or three contestants, I really don’t know what to say. What’s there to comment on? Did anyone win a medal? No, they just had a fight, like two random people on the street. No one even raised a hand, it was just a verbal spat. Why should we give it so much importance? Do we comment on street fights in Mumbai every day? Why make a big deal out of it?”

Gashmeer also touched upon his rapport with Asim Riaz, saying, “Everyone has a different temperament. I spent a week with Asim, and he was nice to me, and I was nice to him. If he misbehaved or crossed a line, he must have had his reasons. Everyone justifies their actions, and Asim would have his reasons too. If he crossed a limit, he left the show, didn’t he? The channel didn’t keep him on. So, the matter ends there.”
