Vishal Aditya Singh fires back at Asim Riaz: '100% bakwas ka talent'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actor Vishal Aditya Singh has launched a sharp social media counter-attack against fellow reality TV personality Asim Riaz, after Asim took a pointed dig at him on X (formerly Twitter). The public spat, which unfolded on 3 September, has drawn significant attention online, with both former Bigg Boss contestants trading barbs across platforms.
What Vishal Posted
Vishal shared a series of posts on his social media account, each apparently directed at Asim. In one, he wrote: 'Ex bigg Boss contestant Bas yahi hai aapki pehchaan aur yahi reh jaayenge aap. Toh Asim bhai please Keep calm Aur Bolo ‘jai shree ram’.' The remark was a direct swipe at Asim's identity as a public figure, reducing it to his Bigg Boss stint.
In a second post, Vishal wrote: '‘Psychiatrist’ ka number yaad se send kar diyo. Mai tujhe ‘suresh Wadkar music school ka number send karta hu aur ek gym ka coupon bhi uske saath.' A third post added: 'Bhai (injection) isse sirf body banti hai. ‘Dimaag’ k liye bhi kuchh dekho.' Taking direct aim at Asim's rap career, Vishal wrote: 'Art(rap) = 0% Bakwas ka talent = 100%.'
What Triggered the Exchange
The volley from Vishal came in response to a post Asim had shared on X, in which Asim wrote: 'Vishal, getting beaten with a pan on national TV by your ex GF left some permanent damage. Stop chanting my name everywhere. If you need my attention, DM me instead of being a ScumBAG on podcasts and in the media. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to find a psychiatrist for you.'
Asim's post was itself a reaction to remarks Vishal had reportedly made about him on podcasts and in media interactions. The reference to 'getting beaten with a pan on national TV' alludes to a widely-discussed incident from a reality show involving Vishal.
Asim's Broader Social Media Offensive
The feud sits within a wider pattern of Asim pushing back against the television industry. Around the same time, he took an indirect dig at what he called 'TV industry aunties and uncles' following a podcast discussion involving Rubina Dilaik and Hina Khan, where his claims about boosting TRP ratings on reality shows were debated.
Responding to those remarks, Asim wrote: 'I saw another clip from a podcast where these TV industry aunties and uncles were talking about how I bring TRP to every reality show I do. Well, the answer is YES, I DO. Good luck with your careers n keep playing your roles and being puppets in the industry.'
Context and Background
Both Vishal Aditya Singh and Asim Riaz rose to public prominence through Bigg Boss. Asim, who was a runner-up on Bigg Boss 13, has since pursued a career in rap and music. Vishal has continued working in television. Their public fallout reflects a broader trend of reality TV alumni settling scores on social media rather than through traditional media channels, amplifying reach while bypassing editorial filters.
As of now, neither side has indicated a willingness to de-escalate, and the exchange is likely to continue drawing reactions from their respective fan bases.
