Actor Abhinav Shukla recently found himself at the center of a frightening situation after receiving a death threat from an individual claiming to be part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The incident unfolded after Shukla made remarks about Bigg Boss fame and rapper AsimRiaz, following a heated clash between Riaz and his wife, actor Rubina Dilaik, on the reality show Battleground.
Threatening Message Shared Online by Abhinav Shukla
On Sunday, Abhinav Shukla posted a screenshot of a direct message from a person identifying himself as Ankush Gupta. The message contained a chilling warning, referencing the firing incident outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai. The sender threatened to come to Shukla’s house and carry out an attack similar to the one targeting Khan. The message also warned Shukla to refrain from making statements about Asim Riaz, suggesting that the rapper had support from the Bishnoi gang.
Reacting to the threat, Shukla immediately tagged Punjab Police in his post and urged authorities to take strict and prompt action against the individual. He requested anyone who recognized the person to report them to law enforcement officials.
The conflict between Asim Riaz and Rubina Dilaik on Battleground has been escalating for some time. Both serve as panellists on the show and frequently lock horns over differences of opinion. Their latest confrontation, however, took a serious turn when Asim allegedly insulted Rubina, sparking a massive uproar.
Sources reported that the show removed Asim Riaz. Sources revealed that the argument between the two escalated beyond control, forcing production to call off the shoot. The situation became tense as Rubina attempted to intervene, but tempers flared, leading to chaos on the set.
Asim Riaz Fires Back
In response to the reports surrounding his exit from Battleground, Asim Riaz took to Twitter to express his frustration. He rejected claims of being kicked out and asserted that he had “flipped the game” on his own terms. He criticized the media, writing, “Paid media ain’t got a spine, just a rate card. They print what they’re told.” I move when I decide. Keep shouting ‘kicked out,’ I kicked the script.”
Asim Riaz has been no stranger to controversies. Earlier, he was evicted from Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 after a heated argument with host Rohit Shetty. Now, the latest Battleground row has only added to the drama surrounding his reality show career.
