Mumbai: As Bigg Boss 20 opened its doors to a new batch of contestants, former housemate Asim Riaz reignited his association with the reality show by taking a pointed dig at the ongoing season.
Asim, who became one of the most recognisable faces of Bigg Boss 13, reacted to the show's latest edition shortly after its premiere. Taking to X, he posted a brief message that read, “Another Flop Season Loading.”
The remark quickly became a talking point online, but the response from social media users was far from unanimous. Several users challenged Asim's assessment and reminded him that the reality show continues to generate substantial online discussion and engagement season after season.
Some responses also brought up his own Bigg Boss journey. One user suggested that repeatedly declaring the show a failure had itself become predictable, while another reminded Asim that he finished as the runner-up in his season and advised him to simply watch the new edition.
A section of users questioned why Asim continued to comment on a show that he had left years ago. One social media comment suggested that he had not moved on from his Bigg Boss stint, while another asked what he had been doing professionally since appearing on the show.
His music career also became part of the online banter, with a few users drawing an unflattering comparison between his “flop season” remark and his recent musical releases.
The debate comes as Bigg Boss 20 begins a new run with Salman Khan once again taking charge as host. The latest season premiered on September 6, with episodes streaming on JioHotstar at 9 pm, followed by the television broadcast at 10.30 pm.
The new season has brought together contestants from different fields, including Kanika Mann, Mary Kom, Mahhi Vij, Aamrapali Dubey, Aasif Khan, Isha Rikhi, Qazi Touqeer, Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu, Arishfa Khan, Aman Gandhi, Uditi Singh, Love Gill, Yung DSA aka Harsh Vijay Machare, Tanmay Singh aka ScoutOP, Rohed Khan, Rhiti Tiwari and Khushi Dubey.
While Asim's post has triggered its own social-media conversation, the success of Bigg Boss 20 will ultimately be determined by its viewership, audience engagement and ability to remain part of the entertainment conversation in the weeks ahead.
For now, however, one thing is clear: Asim Riaz's two-line reaction has managed to create a buzz around the new season even before the show's latest controversies and house dynamics have fully unfolded.
