In a new interview Asim Riaz talked about him and their close friendship.

Speaking to Siddharth Kanan, Asim Riaz said, “He came in my dream bro, I swear. I knew it before (it happened). I had a call from one of my cousins, Ruhaan called me up, usne mujhe bola bhai news on karna (He asked me to switch on the news), he didn’t tell me because he knows how emotional and how sensitive I am.” He added, “I have spent 140 days with him in that house and I was really connected because I had no friend outside and aisa connection kisi se hua hi nahi kabhi bhai, matlab ladna toh 4-4 din, hasna toh 4-4 din (I didn’t have a connection with anyone else like this, as in fighting with them on some days, and being friendly on the others).” He also described the dream in detail.

He had tweeted at the time, ” I m gonna meet you in heaven brother…R I P sidharthshukla.” Asim also shared a video clip with the song “Tera Yaar Hoon” playing in the background.

Come on man, just say you don’t want to make me win. You made it so obvious that we had to believe that you did it. But I was okay,” Asim said in the interview as he claimed that the makers of Bigg Boss didn’t want him to win.
