The recent episode of Battleground has sparked a fresh controversy, with Asim Riaz’s disrespectful comment about Rubina Dilaik stirring tension between the two. Asim, known for his brash and often unfiltered comments, questioned Rubina’s fitness during the latest episode of the show, claiming that she didn’t belong there due to her supposed lack of fitness. He asked, “What are you doing here?” — a remark that did not sit well with many, especially Rubina’s husband, Abhinav Shukla.
The comment was made during a heated exchange on Battleground, a fitness reality show that features multiple celebrities competing in intense physical challenges. Asim’s remark about Rubina, implying that she wasn’t fit enough for the show, caused a stir on social media, with fans and contestants alike criticizing his attitude.
Taking a strong stand for his wife, Abhinav Shukla didn’t hold back in his response. When a fan inquired about his thoughts on Asim’s comment, Abhinav wasted no time in hitting back. On his vlog, Abhinav responded sharply, saying, “All jacked (injection emoji) up muscle, no brain, and a bad attitude are not a sign of fitness.” The comment was a direct dig at Asim’s physique and insinuated that he may be relying on substances to maintain his muscular appearance.
Abhinav’s statement sent waves across social media, as fans rallied behind him, voicing their support for Rubina and calling out Asim’s behavior. The ongoing tension between the two has only added fuel to the fire, with many wondering if this will escalate further.
Meanwhile, the drama doesn’t end there. According to sources, Asim’s recent altercation with Abhishek Malhan and Rubina Dilaik has reportedly led to his ousting from Battleground. The situation escalated after a seemingly trivial tiff between Asim and Abhishek turned into a heated argument, with Rubina stepping in to intervene. However, things reportedly took a sour turn when Asim allegedly insulted Rubina, prompting Battleground producers to step in and ask him to leave the show. An official confirmation of Asim’s exit is still awaited.
Battleground, which began streaming on Amazon MX Player on April 5, features a lineup of fiery personalities, including Rajat Dalal and Abhishek Malhan, alongside Rubina and Asim. The show has been creating waves, not just because of its intense physical challenges, but also due to the dramatic conflicts between the gang leaders. With Shikhar Dhawan at the helm, the show has sparked a storm of controversies, with this latest one promising to keep the buzz alive.
