The reality show Battleground has found itself at the center of an unexpected storm. With team leaders Asim Riaz, Abhishek Malhan, Rubina Dilaik, and Rajat Dalal guiding the action, it was meant to be a high-energy competition. But things quickly took a sharp turn when two of the most popular faces clashed in a shocking on-screen moment.
A clip from the show has now gone viral. In it, Asim Riaz and Abhishek Malhan are seen exchanging fiery words that soon lead to a physical scuffle. The argument began with a pointed remark from Abhishek. Without naming names directly, he said, “There are three people here who have come with their individual personality. Aur ek lauta jo apne username pe udak raha hai. Fukre, bas kar.” The comment didn’t go unnoticed. Asim, visibly irritated, responded with strong words of his own.
Trying to keep his tone sharp, Abhishek countered by reminding Asim about a previous incident on national TV. He said he never needed to create drama with an anchor to get attention. Asim, standing his ground, responded, “Usne harkat bhi aisi ki thi, ladna hi tha. Jawab dena padta hai.”
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Soon after the episode aired, another video surfaced online. This one showed an intense and unedited version of what fans had only partially witnessed earlier. In it, Asim and Abhishek could be seen caught in a much more aggressive exchange. The tension between them boiled over, turning a verbal spat into a physical confrontation.
According to reports, the latest clash erupted when Abhishek took a jab at Asim’s past. He hinted at Asim’s early departure from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, saying that maybe he wouldn’t last on Battleground either. That dig triggered Asim, who reportedly tried to throw a chair during the argument. This moment shocked both the cast and viewers alike.
In response to the action, Abhishek was heard warning, “Thappad maar diya na, udd jayega.” The situation escalated quickly. Team members tried to diffuse the fight, but the damage was already done. Clips from the altercation spread rapidly on social media, pulling thousands of reactions within hours.
Meanwhile, the makers of Battleground have not made an official statement yet. But industry insiders suggest the tension between the two stars might lead to changes in the show’s format or team arrangements going forward.
Both Asim and Abhishek have massive fan followings. Their clash has now turned into a public showdown, blurring the line between scripted drama and real emotion. The argument and its fallout have become a defining moment for Battleground.
