Asim Riaz slams Abhinav Shukla, reacts to his jibe about his physique
Bigg Boss 13 contestant Asim Riaz has slammed Rubina Dilaik’s husband Abhinav Shukla. His post comes after Abhinav took a dig at Riaz for his remarks about Rubina on the reality show ‘Battleground.’ This morning, Abhinav reported receiving a disturbing death threat on social media from an alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang member, following his remarks about Asim. Now, Asim has hit back at Abhinav, accusing him of ‘fishing for sympathy’ and said that anyone can type anything on the Internet.
On Sunday evening, Asim Riaz took to his Instagram story to slam Abhinav Shukla. He wrote that the argument on Battleground was between the four judges, and that he had no reason to jump in the conversation. “Four judges were having a real conversation… who even called you to jump in? Stop poking your nose everywhere trying to play the hero- this isn’t some WhatsApp group drama. People like you only speak up when someone else’s name brings you relevance. This wasn’t your scene, but you forced an entry like you mattered,” wrote Asim.
He further reacted to Abhinav’s post about receiving death threat from a fan of Riaz, claiming to be from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Asim wrote, “And stop fishing for sympathy off fake comments from fake IDs. This is the internet-anyone can type anything. Stand tall or stay silent.”
Meanwhile, Asim also responded to Abhinav’s indirect jibe about the former using performance-enhancing substances to maintain his physique. “Now about fitness-only a man who’s never lifted will cry ‘steroids’ when someone shows up built different. I built this body, this name, this attitude-brick by brick, rep by rep. You call it substances, I call it substance. I don’t need sympathy-l need space to dominate and you Stay in your lane,” he wrote.

I know your address. Should I come over? Just like Salman Khan was shot at, I’ll come to your house and shoot you with an AK-47,” the message read in Hindi (translated).
The sender went on to threaten Abhinav’s family and guards, claiming to be aware of his daily routine. “This is your last warning. Before you say anything about Asim, your name will be on the list. Lawrence Bishnoi is with Asim,” the message warned.
For the unversed, Asim Riaz and Rubina Dilaik had a verbal altercation on the reality show ‘Battleground’, where both served as judges.
