Asim Riaz made an offensive comment about Rubina Dilaik's fitness on the web show 'Battleground.' Abhinav Shukla responded sharply. The escalating conflict resulted in Asim's removal from the show, although this hasn't been officially confirmed.
Entertainment: The web reality show 'Battleground' is currently trending, but not because of the contestants' performances, but rather due to escalating disputes between them. A recent episode featured an incident that shocked viewers. Contestant Asim Riaz made highly offensive remarks about TV actress Rubina Dilaik, sparking controversy.
Why did Asim question Rubina?

Show host Shikhar Dhawan took the matter seriously and asked Asim to apologize to Rubina. However, before the situation could be resolved, Rubina's husband, Abhinav Shukla, reacted.
Abhinav's sharp retort
A fan commented on Abhinav's vlog, asking, 'Asim said this show is for fitness, so what is Rubina doing here? What's your reaction?' In response, Abhinav unequivocally wrote, 'Simply having muscles, being dim-witted, and having a poor attitude doesn't define fitness. And he doesn't even know what he uses to maintain his physique.'
This response clearly shows that Abhinav not only defended his wife but also directly questioned Asim's thinking and attitude.
The matter didn't end there
According to reports, a major argument later ensued between Asim and contestant Abhishek Malhan. It's reported that when Rubina tried to calm them down, Asim behaved disrespectfully towards her as well, further exacerbating the situation.
