What Karan Veer said
During the chat he said, “Ek toh bewakoofi ki itne bade show mein itne bade aadmi (Rohit Shetty) ke saath aisi badtameezi ki. Mujhe aur bhi galat lagta hai uske fans ke liye, who are in huge numbers and support him (He was stupid to have argued with such a big person like Rohit Shetty and misbehaved with him. I even feel bad for his fans).”
He added, "He's living in his bubble that this fandom is forever. He thinks that his fans will always be there for him even in the next 10-20 years. He's living in his own bubble, in his Barbie world. He needs to get a reality check, and somewhere he needs medical help, this is what I feel. Everyone has their opinions."
More details
Asim had addressed the issue while performing in Dubai, and accused the makers of tweaking the narrative while editing the clip.
Asim had earlier called his co-contestants 'losers' on the show. Rohit Shetty had said, “Sun meri baat sunle warna mei utha ke yahi patak dunga. Aise mere se badtameezi nahi karna (Listen to be otherwise I will thrash you here. Don’t behave badly here)”. Asim then walked towards Rohit, until being stopped by the Khatron Ke Khiladi team. Following which, he was asked to go from the show.
As the winner of this season, Karan Veer took home the the trophy, along with the cash prize of ₹20 lakh as well as a brand new Hyundai Creta car.
