MUMBAI: Television’s much-adored couple, Abhinav Shukla and Rubina Dilaik, enjoy an immense fan following, both for their on-screen presence and real-life chemistry. Known for standing by each other through thick and thin, Abhinav recently stepped forward to defend his wife after an unpleasant remark from fellow reality show contestant Asim Riaz.
The controversy erupted when Asim reportedly questioned Rubina’s presence on the show, claiming she didn’t belong there as the format revolved around fitness. His comment, "What are you doing here?" sparked widespread backlash from fans and viewers alike.
Abhinav chose to address the issue during a YouTube vlog, responding candidly to a fan who asked for his take on Asim’s statement. The actor didn’t mince his words. Hitting back sharply, he accused Asim of focusing solely on physicality while neglecting the mental and emotional aspects of true fitness.
"All jacked-up muscle, no brain and bad attitude is not a sign of fitness," Abhinav wrote, calling out Asim’s approach and subtly suggesting the use of performance-enhancing substances. He further stressed that genuine fitness is defined not just by physique, but also by one’s discipline, attitude, and mental strength.
Meanwhile, speculation is rife that Asim Riaz may have been removed from the show due to repeated altercations with fellow contestants and clashes with the judges. While there’s been no official confirmation, the rumour mill has been abuzz.
Since the show's launch, Asim has frequently been at the centre of heated disputes notably with Rubina, Rajat, and Abhishek Malhan often pushing arguments to intense levels.
All eyes are now on Asim Riaz, as fans await his response to Abhinav’s scathing remarks. One thing is certain — this feud is far from over, and the drama is only getting started.
