Bigg Boss contestant Umar Riaz has been called out by a contestant that he ‘looks like a terrorist’ by his housemate Simba Nagpal for wearing Kajal in his eyes.
It all started during one of the tasks in Bigg Boss 15 when a Muslim contestant named Umar Riaz was labeled as a terrorist. Simba’s controversial remarks have created a stir on social media after which netizens demand to evict him for being a racist.

Moreover, a clip in which Umar Riaz was violently pushed into the pool got viral on social media and he was targeted by a hate speech that ‘he gives vibes of being a terrorist when he wears kajal in his eyes’. This disturbing video was enough to stir disappointment and outrage among viewers.
Reacting to the incident, netizens took to social media and condoned the act. One of the netizens wrote, “Simba Nagpal called Umer Riaz a terrorist? And asked him to not wear soorma? Like seriously? This kind of unconscious islamophobia is considered normal. Let me tell you it isn’t and it’s NOT acceptable!”.

However, earlier Bigg Boss 15 was under criticism for copying their set design from Matthew Mazzotta’s Flamingo Sculpture which is situated at the Tampa International Airport in Florida. The original sculpture cost around a whopping amount of 3- crores and is 21-foot long.
