MODEL turned TV star Asim Riaz has got himself an incredible fan following globally after his stunning appearance on Bigg Boss 13. One of his most devoted admirers is Meenu from New Delhi.

Eastern Eye caught up with the super fan to find out more.

What connected you to Asim?

I started liking Asim because of the small acts of kindness done by him for others in Bigg Boss 13. Also, he stopped others from violent acts and showed sensibility in tough situations.

What made you a super fan?

During his Bigg Boss 13 stint, Asim was not a big name but was targeted and harassed continuously. His zeal to rise up, not lose hope, be motivated and smile through the difficulties made me resolve to support him more.

Tell us about something super you have done for Asim?

I stayed away from social media, but joined Twitter to support Asim and am sticking around for him. Asim may be coming to Delhi in April. I might even participate in the event he will be attending, which will be hilarious as I have never tried modelling.

What has been your most memorable moment?

There are many magical moments on Bigg Boss 13, including his amazing performance during a task where he had to endure spices being thrown at him from all sides. Another one was when he sacrificed his captaincy for another contestant (Arti Singh) so she could have a letter sent from her mother. These were emotional moments.

What do you love about Asim?

Asim is admired for his strength and grit, but what I love about him is his kindness and forgiving attitude. He doesn’t keep grudges and believes in forgiveness.

Which quality in Asim do you most relate to?

I most relate to Asim’s can-do attitude. He is optimistic and believes in getting up after falling. This is what everyone has to do. I want to be able to do that too.

Why do you love being a super fan?

Asim has just started on the road to stardom. Being his super fan, I was able to live this journey with him during Bigg Boss and will continue living this journey until he becomes a superstar and even after that. It is the best feeling in the world to see someone you love so much and support reach great heights. These super feelings can only be experienced by super fans.

Mark Gatiss’s 'Bookish' is being hailed as the ''next best thing to Sherlock'' — Here’s why viewers are hooked

Highlights:

  • Mark Gatiss stars as Gabriel Book, a crime-solving bookshop owner in post-war London in Bookish.

Mark Gatiss, best known for co-creating Sherlock, is back with another brainy sleuth, and this time, it’s personal. Bookish, a 1940s-set detective drama written by and starring Gatiss, follows the eccentric Gabriel Book, a former intelligence agent turned antiquarian bookseller who helps the police crack cases in bombed-out postwar London. The six-part series, which debuted this week on U&Alibi, has already garnered praise for its clever plots, layered characters, and strong sense of time and place, with some calling it “the next best thing to Sherlock.”

Will Kareena Kapoor rewrite Bollywood norms by romancing a 20-year-younger actor?

Highlights:

  • Kareena Kapoor Khan to star as a ghost in an upcoming genre-bending film
  • The 44-year-old actress will reportedly be paired with an actor in his early 20s
  • Script is penned by Hussain Dalal, known for Brahmāstra
  • The film explores a quirky new take on the ghost genre and is currently unannounced

Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly all set to headline a new supernatural film, but with an unconventional twist. The Bollywood star, who turned 44 this year, will be seen playing a ghost in the upcoming project, which is also said to feature a much younger male lead, an actor in his early 20s. If confirmed, this pairing will mark a rare age-reversal in Bollywood casting, where older male actors have long romanced much younger actresses on screen.

According to reports, the film is described as a genre-defying and humorous take on ghost stories. The story is said to be written by Hussain Dalal, known for co-writing Brahmāstra and frequently collaborating with director Ayan Mukerji. While Kareena’s role as a female ghost is being celebrated as bold and experimental, her reported romantic pairing with a 20-something actor is what has caught everyone’s attention.
