Baseer Ali, currently a contestant on Bigg Boss 19, is facing criticism from viewers for his interactions with actress Natalia Janoszek. A clip has gone viral showing Baseer confessing his feelings to Natalia, leading many to accuse him of repeating a pattern from previous reality shows.
In the viral clip, Baseer is seen telling Natalia how much he enjoys spending time with her and that she brings out a side of him that others don't see. He stated, "You cannot believe it. The amount of time I have been spending with you. The way I have been around you. Nobody gets to see this side of me". When Natalia brought up his connection with Nehal Chudasama, Baseer clarified that he had no romantic interest in Nehal. "If I wanted Nehal, I could have gotten her the first day, but it's very clear to me and everybody else in the house," he said.
Viewers have reacted strongly to the video, with many saying that Baseer proposes to or flirts with a girl on every show he enters. Some have questioned his character, with one Instagram user writing, "Baseer has feelings for everyone". Others referenced his past reality show appearances, with one user commenting, "If anyone remembers, the same thing happened in Ace of Space. He proposed to Lucinda". Some fans are calling him out for playing the same "love game" he does on every show.
This isn't the first time Baseer's behavior has stirred controversy on Bigg Boss 19. Claims arose that Baseer and fellow contestant Farhana Bhatt knew each other before the show. However, Baseer's team issued a statement clarifying that this was "completely false".
Baseer Ali rose to fame through his appearances on MTV's Roadies Rising and Splitsvilla 10. He was a runner-up on Roadies Rising and won Splitsvilla 10 with Naina Singh. He has also hosted shows like On Road With Roadies and Splitsvilla 11. In addition, he was the second runner-up on Ace of Space 2.
Besides his relationships with female contestants, Baseer has also been involved in conflicts with other Bigg Boss 19 housemates. He recently had a heated argument with Awez Darbar during a captaincy challenge. The argument escalated, with Baseer threatening to reveal Awez's secrets. Baseer also clashed with Pranit More, criticizing him for not completing tasks. Additionally, he had a major fight with Abhishek Bajaj during a captaincy task, even throwing a blackboard into the swimming pool.
Some viewers feel that Baseer is too concerned with maintaining a "safe" image and being in everyone's good books. Others have criticized him for demeaning other contestants. Despite the controversies, Baseer remains one of the most talked-about contestants on Bigg Boss 19.
