A doctor by profession and an actor-model by interest, Umar’s journey on Bigg Boss 15 was humongous and sensational. Though he was noticed during the stint for being aggressive but his elimination made noise and it was even called ‘unfair’. Earlier, he was called out for copying Asim’s game. But things changed as Umar won hearts and showed his true side to the world. His eviction was one of the most talked-about evictions in the history of Bigg Boss.
