The
model-actor
Asim
Riaz
became
popular
with
his
Bigg
Boss
stint.
He
was
declared
the
first
runner-up
of
Bigg
Boss
13
and
enjoys
a
massive
fan
following
on
social
media
even
after
the
show
ended.
He
was
seen
in
a
few
music
videos
and
will
be
seen
in
yet
another
much-awaited
music
video
'Saiyyonee'
alongside
Shivaleeka
Oberoi.
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
a
video
in
which
Asim
was
seen
in
the
background
in
an
ad
that
featured
Shah
Rukh
Khan
had
gone
viral
on
social
media.
Recently,
the
actor
opened
up
about
the
same
and
revealed
that
he
was
working
and
it
was
his
bread
and
butter.
In
an
interview
with
Bollywood
Hungama,
Asim
said,
"That
was
around
the
end
of
2013-14.
I
had
just
moved
to
Mumbai
and
you
go
to
auditions
and
they
say
whether
you
are
fit
or
unfit.
This
was
an
ad,
I
went
for.
It
was
a
three-day
shoot.
There
were
a
lot
of
guys
and
I
was
a
model."
He
further
spoke
about
being
a
model
and
said,
"Back
in
the
day,
models
were
not
given
that
recognition.
If
you
won
Gladrags,
only
then
they
considered
a
model
as
good.
When
you
come
just
out
of
blue,
no
one
recognises
because
they
think
everybody
is
the
same.
But
that
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
ad.
It
was
my
bread
and
butter.
That
time
I
got
a
call
saying
you
have
to
do
this
and
I
was
like
'Yo,
I'm
doing
it',
because
I
have
to
pay
my
rent,
pay
my
bills.
I
was
working."
About
his
struggling
days,
he
said,
"How
do
you
get
big
in
life?
Doing
small
things.
I
can't
wake
up
in
the
morning
and
get
a
flight
to
Mumbai
from
Jammu,
sign
a
movie
and
go
back.
That's
not
how
it
works.
It
works
with
the
struggle,
the
ten
years
of
struggle
and
then
you
get
something."
The
Kashmiri
lad
said
that
it
is
now
that
he
has
been
getting
to
do
music
videos,
movies
and
other
things.
But
then
he
had
done
something
in
steps.
He
added
that
everything
has
a
step;
you
can't
just
wake
up
and
be
like
'ok
I
am
rich'
and
for
that
you
have
to
work.
He
further
said
that
that
was
part
of
his
work-
a
part
of
his
bread
when
he
was
earning
and
that
was
his
living.
Asim
further
said
that
he
moved
to
Mumbai
when
he
was
18
and
added
that
he
had
done
a
lot
of
ads,
and
an
ad
with
Kangana
Ranaut
as
well.
