2020 gave a rising star to the world in the name of Asim Riaz. The model and the former Bigg Boss 13 contestant became the first runner up of the show declared in February this year. Soon after that, the country went into coronavirus lockdown and in new normal, Asim featured in many music videos with Jacqueline Fernandez, Himanshi Khurana and many others. Now, during a recent conversation, Asim was quizzed about not being a part of Bigg Boss 14 like Sidharth Shukla who entered as 'Toofani Senior'.

Asim gave out his reasons to Bollywood Bubble in a video interview by stating, "Yes, I was offered. But the thing is that I have to spend 140 days in the house. It was a long time. For me, at that time I just recovered and it leaves an impact on your head that you just remember something and it’s like ‘I don’t want to go back’. This is not the right time for me to go."

Riaz further said, "I thought I have just recovered and doing good in my life. If I get a chance I will go. But at that time when I was offered, I wasn’t ready to be very honest."

Recently, Asim became a proud owner of a sea-facing apartment in Mumbai and his father couldn't stop containing his excitement. Riaz's father had said, "A father cannot stop his feelings and excitement when his children do well with their hard work, passion and earn respect from fellow human beings so today I feel delighted after watching the video which shows charming sea in front of the new home of Asim Riaz which you deserve."
