Reportedly, Sonal Vengurlekar in an interview with a leading news portal spilled beans around Asim's past relationship, which apparently added fuel to the fire. Sonal Vengurlekar claimed that Asim was in a live-in relationship with model-actor Shruti Tuli. Denying the claims, Umar Riaz said in an interview that Sonal is desperate for fame and wants to hog the limelight. He also added that Sonal Vengrulekar met Asim and Shruti at a party. He further said that Sonal doesn't even know anything about Asim and Shruti.

Umar Riaz also added that she is trying to defame Asim as the finale is just two weeks away and Asim is considered as the probable finalist. He further said that Sonal once mentioned that she wanted to join Bigg Boss to revive her career. During that conversation, the makers were in contact with Asim but they hid it from her as Umar never trusted her, he said. Ending the conversation, he said that she might be doing all this under Vikas Gupta's influence.
