Umar Riaz, brother of Bigg Boss 13 first runner-up Asim Riaz, has emerged as one of the most popular contestants of newly launched Bigg Boss 15 hosted by Salman Khan. His entry on the show’s premiere episode of Saturday spurned several trends in his name on social media and also gave a glimpse of his competitive demeanour on the stage itself as he fought with fellow contestant Ieshaan Sehgaal for the survival kit.
As Salman asked both the contestants to perform a ‘dangal’ and win an opportunity to create their own survival kit before entering the show’s ‘jungle’, Umar and Ieshaan gave their all to fight out each other. While Umar technically won the round, Ieshaan was declared the winner by Donal Bisht who was judging the contest as the former kept hitting the latter in the face and they argued on the stage.
Later, as Umar entered the house and Ieshaan and Donal were sent to the woods, he kept up his animosity. On the other hand, Ieshaan told Donal that if Umar had hit him outside the show, he would have been looking for a doctor by this time, hinting that the two are not going to see eye-to-eye inside the house soon.
Only 13 contestants entered the house on Saturday as more contestants will be introduced on the show on Sunday night’s episode. The contestants who have entered Bigg Boss 15 so far are Jay Bhanushali, Tejasswi Prakash, Vishal Kotian, Vidhi Pandya, Simba Nagpal, Umar Riaz, Ieshaan Sehgal, Donal Bisht, Akasa Singh, Karan Kundra, Miesha Iyer, Afsana Khan, and Sahil Shroff. Shamita Shetty, Nishant Bhatt and Pratik Sehajpal are yet to make their big entry.
