One of the most talked-about Bigg Boss 13 highlights was the bromance between Sidharth Shukla and Asim Riaz. Although they did have a love-hate relationship, the two ended up becoming close friends after the programme.

It's interesting to note that the dashing young man finished in the top two alongside Sidharth Shukla and fell short to the late TV star in the final. Several people felt that Asim was quite deserving of the award when the Bigg Boss 13 winner was announced, and they began criticising the producers for choosing Sidharth to take home the trophy of the celebrity reality show hosted by Salman Khan.

Asim Riaz is a native of Jammu & Kashmir. His older brother, Umar Riaz, works as a model and a surgeon. Asim met Himanshi Khurana in the Bigg Boss 13 house, and the two are currently dating.
