Bigg Boss 15 contestant Umar Riaz has recently got evicted from the show due to his violent behaviour towards co-contestant Pratik Sehajpal. Umar was one of the strongest contestant of this season and gained huge fan following on social media with his stint in the reality show. After coming out of the show, Umar spoke about his friendship with Karan Kundrra and called their bond ‘pure and very real’.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Umar was jokingly asked about the love triangle between him, Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi. Speaking about it, Umar claimed that Tejasswi Prakash was ‘jealous’ of his and Kundrra’s friendship.
Umar told the portal, “I was never jealous of Tejasswi. They used to spend a lot of time. Karan used to spend all day with Tejasswi. I never thought, ‘He is not giving time to me.’ It was fine because I wanted him to grow his relationship with her. But I think Tejasswi might have been jealous of the bond because during tasks, my priority would be Karan and somehow, Karan’s priority would be me. I think some kind of jealousy might be there because after I came out, I saw Tejasswi talking to Karan and I didn’t like how she spoke about me… He supported me in the game more than her and she couldn’t digest it.”
Talking about his friendship with Karan, Umar quoted saying, “We connect because we are from north India and we have that lingo also… We really connected, the relationship grew every day and the support we showed each other. He was like an elder brother, I would tell him where he would go wrong and he would tell me about where I went wrong. The relationship grew with the dancing as well, what horrible dancers we both are. The friendship was very real and very pure.”
