Khatron Ke Khiladi 14: Abusing Shalin Bhanot Or Issues With Rohit Shetty? Fans Make Theories After Asim Riaz’s Exit From The Game Show

According to a theory, Asim Riaz and host Rohit Shetty engaged in a "verbal spat" after Asim failed to complete a task.

Rohit Shetty’s popular game show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’ had everyone talking. Everyone wants to know every aspect of the show. The show's contestants have arrived in Romania, and shooting has commenced. Speculation has circulated about the shocking exit of contestant Asim Riaz. After an angry confrontation with Rohit Shetty, Asim Riaz was reportedly asked to leave the show by ETimes sources. However, fans have taken to social media to find out the actual reason behind Asim’s exit. 

Asim Riaz verbally abused Shalin Bhanot

Theoretically, Asim may have been expelled from the competition after getting into an argument with Shalin Bhanot, one of his competitors. According to a social media source, things got out of hand as Asim verbally attacked Shalin after losing a stunt.

To this theory, a fan suggested that Shalin Bhanot could have had a chance, like to the one that Arjun Bijlani was granted in season 11, which enabled him to save Asim.

Some fans also blamed the channel for targeting Asim Riaz for publicity.

To make matters worse, one of Abhishek Kumar's fans thinks Shalin slapped Asim because he jabbed him. A supporter compares Asim's elimination to an event in ‘Bigg Boss 17’ involving Samarth Jurel and Abhishek, implying that the makers of the show are intolerant of such behaviour.

Showdown with Rohit Shetty

“After Asim lost in a stunt, a massive showdown between him and host Rohit Shetty ensued, leading to his ouster,” said an insider who spoke to ETimes TV about the programme. “He was asked to leave the reality show with immediate effect,” the source added. 

The fans of 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 14' are impatiently awaiting official word on why Asim abruptly left the show. Apart from these rumours, there's also talk that Asim might be a wildcard entry back on the programme.
