Asim Riaz is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Bigg Boss 13 alum was allegedly booted off the reality show ‘Battleground’ after a heated argument with judges Rubina Dilaik and Abhishek Malhan. The clash got so intense on April 17 that the production team had to halt filming.
A History of Controversy
This isn’t Riaz’s first rodeo with controversy. He was previously kicked off ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’ for allegedly misbehaving with fellow contestants and host Rohit Shetty. A source close to the show told India Today that Riaz’s temper got the best of him again. The source claimed the fight started as a normal disagreement but quickly escalated into a full-blown brawl.
As things got out of hand, Riaz allegedly disrespected Rubina Dilaik, who tried to intervene. The situation became so heated that the contestants retreated to their vans, and filming was stopped.
The Fallout
The source revealed that Riaz was asked to leave the show after the drama. Despite the makers’ efforts to resolve the issue behind the scenes, no solution has been reached yet.
Riaz hasn’t commented on the incident, but Rubina Dilaik downplayed the situation, saying, “All is well.” Abhishek Malhan’s team claimed they were unaware of the incident.
A Pattern of Behavior
The controversy surrounding Riaz is piling up. The Bigg Boss 13 runner-up seems to be getting into trouble repeatedly. His exit from ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’ shocked fans, especially after his clashes with Abhishek Kumar, Shalin Bhanot, and Karanveer Mehra in the first episode.
During that show, Riaz allegedly refused to calm down when crew members tried to intervene, claiming the show was getting attention because of him. Rohit Shetty was reportedly unhappy with Riaz’s behavior, leading to his eventual exit.
The mounting controversies are starting to take a toll on Riaz’s career. Whether he’ll be able to bounce back from this latest incident remains to be seen.
