Asim Riaz is once again making headlines, and not for the best reasons. The model and actor, known for his outspoken nature and string of controversies, has reportedly been ousted from yet another reality show. After his mid-season exit from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 last year, he has now landed in trouble on the sets of Battleground.
The latest buzz from the industry reveals a heated clash that took place on Thursday during the shoot. According to India Today, Asim got into a verbal altercation with Abhishek Malhan, who also serves as a judge on the show. What began as a routine conversation quickly spiraled into an aggressive exchange. The environment turned tense within minutes. People on set were caught off guard.
The argument didn’t stay confined to just Asim and Abhishek. Things escalated when Rubina Dilaik, another celebrity on the show, stepped in to calm things down. Instead of diffusing the situation, Asim turned his anger toward her. Sources say he insulted her while she was trying to mediate.
A crew member present on set described the scene as shocking. He said, “Everyone rushed to their vanity vans and the filming was called off immediately.” The shoot came to a complete halt. Panic spread across the team, and no one expected the situation to worsen so fast.
After the incident, word spread quickly that Asim had been asked to leave the show. Though there has been no official confirmation from the production house, insiders claim the decision came shortly after the argument. His team is now in conversation with the makers, trying to resolve the fallout.
This controversy comes just days after videos of a separate clash between Asim and Rubina went viral on social media. The two were seen exchanging sharp words on set. In the clip, Rubina asked Asim not to demean his team members but to guide them with support. Asim fired back with a mocking tone, reportedly saying that it wasn’t a daily soap. He then called Rubina a “TV actor” in a condescending manner, which did not sit well with her. She responded, saying he was stepping beyond the boundaries of basic courtesy.
The tension grew when Shikhar Dhawan, the judge on Battleground, stepped in. He asked Asim to offer an apology to Rubina for his behavior. That moment was crucial. Asim, known for rarely backing down, was now facing pressure from within the panel.
This isn’t the first time Asim has been in the news for the wrong reasons. His exit from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 was also surrounded by speculations of behind-the-scenes disagreements. His fiery temper and blunt approach have often led him into public spats.
