Bigg Boss 19: Baseer Ali calls Asim Riaz his favourite, says ‘Big respect’

Bigg Boss 19 drama has already started to take shape inside the house. This season, which premiered on August 24, comes with the fiery theme of “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar.” Once again, politics, power, and strategy are driving the game, and the contestants seem to be settling into their roles quickly.

Among the fresh faces this time is Baseer Ali, often dubbed the “Prince of Reality Shows” thanks to his winning streak across multiple formats. Competitive, sharp, and charismatic, Baseer has walked into the Bigg Boss house with all guns blazing. But what’s interesting is his take on former contestants, especially Asim Riaz.

“Contrary to popular opinion, my favourite contestant was Asim Riaz,“Contrary to popular opinion, my favourite contestant was Asim Riaz. He was hated by so many people but loved by his own audience. He never stopped, no matter what people said, no matter how many fingers were pointed at him. He is still the same, and he is still going. He did not change for the people. So, big respect"

Baseer also named Siddharth Shukla, Imam Siddique, and Pooja Mishra as his other favourites. And in a light-hearted confession, he even called Pooja Mishra his “number one favourite.”
