Umar Riaz, Simba Nagpal, and Pratik Sehajpal began Wednesday’s episode of Bigg Boss 15 with clashes and disputes. During a brawl, Umar Riaz referred to Simba Nagpal as a “daily soap actor,” and said he was “hiding in a room” when the pandemic hit last year.

Umar Riaz threatened Simba Nagpal while discussing a task, saying, “I will tell you today ki meri haisiyat kya hai aur mai show me kyu aya hoon (Who I am and why am I on the show). I will f*** your brain today. Aaj mai bataunga mai kiski wajah se aaya hoon, Asim ki wajah se (Today, I will tell you. I came on the show because of my brother Asim Riaz).”

He added, “Tujhe pata nahi mai tere sar pe baith ke bataunga bro. Aaj mai tujhe bataunga. Aaja, aaja daily soap ke hero (You do not know that yet, I will sit on your head and explain it to you. Come on, daily soap hero).”

This shocked actor Jay Bhanushali. He retorted, “What does daily soap ke hero mean? Daily soap ka hero ban ke yaha tak pahuncha hoon yaar (I reached here because I worked in many daily soaps). What statement is he giving? We work 24 hours, every day. That is how a daily soap hero works. Humko chuttiyan nahi milti 20 din me. Kabhi kabhi, maheene me sirf do chutti kar ke hum log kaam karte hain (We work without any leave for 30 days at a stretch).”

Later, Umar Riaz was heard shouting, “Ab mujhe daily soap ke hero bataenge mera auda kya hai. Jab tu kamre me chup ke baitha tha na Covid ke time pe, mere jaise log jaa ke jaan bacha rahe the. Tab tera camera nahi aaya kaam. Tab camera kaam nahi aata, doctor kaam aata hai. Actor kaam nahi aata (Now a daily soap hero will tell me who I am? When you were hiding during the Covid lockdown, people like me were saving lives. Cameras did not help then, doctors came to the rescue, not actors).” Almost everyone asked Umar Riaz to stop using ‘daily soap actor’ as an abuse.

Shocked like others in the house, Shamita Shetty said, “I maintain what I said, ye extremely anti-insaan hai (He is extremely anti-people).” Later, she confronted Umar and told him, “You are speaking about someone I am fond of. You get aggressive in tasks, you think people won’t do the same with you?” 

The candidates also talked about Afsana Khan’s claim that Pratik Sehajpal touched her inappropriately. Pratik, Shamita Shetty, and Jay all stated that Pratik had no bad intentions. Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra, on the other hand, advised them to respect a woman’s feelings. “If a woman is saying someone touched her chest, touched her inappropriately, we must respect her feelings,” Karan said.
