On his bond with Rashami, Umar told Bollywood Bubble, “People have been shipping us since Bigg Boss 13 I would say. It has been two years they have always been wanting to see us together doing some projects together. We hardly used to talk in all These two years. It was like ‘hi’, ‘hello’, that’s it. But when she came in, I knew that she was friend to Asim and I know her through that. So, she became a friend of mine as well. I was like ok, atleast one person has come inside whom I know. Our friendship grew inside but I would say that the friendship I had with Karan (Kundrra) and Rajiv (Adatia) like I was possessive about them, the same was with Rashami and I would say we are very good friends and like to keep it that way.”
