Ashmit Patel Sets the Record Straight on MMS Scandal with Riya: “I Was Blamed Like a Criminal”

Oh, Bollywood – the land of glitz, glamour, and never-ending drama! This is your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, here to spill the latest tea on our beloved tinsel town! Grab your popcorn because this one’s a rollercoaster.

When it comes to making headlines, Ashmit Patel has a knack for landing himself in the middle of a storm. Remember the guy from movies like Murder, Silsilay, and Nazar? Yeah, him. But let’s be real, he’s more famous for the chaos in his personal life than his roles on the big screen. Case in point: the infamous MMS scandal with Riya Sen. Ah, the nostalgia of 2000s Bollywood controversies! 🌪️

Ashmit’s been keeping a low profile, but recently, he decided to clear the air (again) in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. According to our man, the scandal wasn’t his fault. He claims Riya never blamed him, and they tried to tackle the situation together. They even hired lawyers to send notices to media houses. So, who messed this up? Oh, the plot thickens! 😏

Ashmit reminisced about their times working together on a multi-starrer film, which, surprise surprise, never got completed. He suggested that someone might have gotten into Riya’s head, making her believe he was at fault. Ah, Bollywood and its conspiracy theories!

When Kannan asked if Ashmit was judged, he didn’t hold back. “Of course! When something like this happens, being the guy, you get blamed. It was a serious accusation, as if someone accused me of rape. I wasn’t stupid enough to do something like this intentionally,” he said. Talk about dramatic! 🎭

For those who need a refresher, Ashmit and Riya’s closeness blossomed during the filming of Silsilay in 2005. Their private video got leaked, leading to a very public breakup. Since then, Ashmit’s been more of a controversy magnet than a movie star.

Fun fact: Ashmit is the brother of actress Amisha Patel. He started his career assisting in films like Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage and Raaz, before making his acting debut in Inteha (2003). Unfortunately, his career never took off, except for the times he starred in controversies like the MMS leak.

In an attempt to stay relevant, Ashmit joined Bigg Boss 4 and, oh boy, did he bring the drama! His on-screen moments with Pakistani actress Veena Malik were talk of the town. And who could forget his legendary fights with Dolly Bindra? Even she brought up the MMS scandal during a heated exchange. Reality TV gold, anyone? 📺

Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, scandals are like sequels – they keep coming back, whether you want them or not. And remember, in the world of glitz and glamour, it’s not about how you rise, but how you manage your falls that keeps the gossip mills running. 🍿
