Asim Riaz Chaudhary is an Indian model, actor, rapper, and fitness enthusiast born on 13 July 1993 in Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir. His father, Riaz Ahmed Chaudhary, is the Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Jammu & Kashmir. His elder brother is cricketer Umar Riaz. He completed his schooling at Police Public School, Jammu, and graduated from Jammu University. He relocated to Mumbai to pursue a modelling career, working with agencies including Kwan Talent and building a prominent portfolio with brands such as ITC Engage, Puma, Garnier, and Flipkart. He gained a unique international moment when WWE legend John Cena — who rarely posts others' pictures — featured him on his Instagram account twice, exposing him to Cena's 50 million+ followers. His acting credits include the Bollywood film London Nahi Jaunga and several short films. In September 2019, he entered Bigg Boss 13 on Colors TV. His fierce loyalty, physical confidence, and emotional journey — particularly his love for fellow wildcard contestant Himanshi Khurana — made him one of the season's most polarising and passionate personalities. He finished as the first runner-up on 15 February 2020. Post-Bigg Boss, he built a successful music career with T-Series, releasing Mere Angne Mein (with Neha Kakkar and Jacqueline Fernandez), Kalla Sohna Hai, Khyaal Rakhya Kar, and multiple other music videos. He and Himanshi Khurana later parted ways. He has also ventured into hip-hop and rap music.
