Model-turned-actor Asim Riaz often makes news for all the wrong reasons. Last year, he made headlines after he walked out of Khatron Ke Khiladi following an argument with Rohit Shetty and his co-contestants. Now, Asim is seen as a mentor on MX Player’s sports-based gaming reality show Battleground. On his latest show, too, Asim has not been getting along with his fellow judges. A few weeks back, he had charged at Rajat Dalal during an argument, and recently, Asim had a heated argument with Rubina Dilaik too.
However, during the argument, Rubina hit back, and Asim made sure he drew the line. During a task, Rubina expressed her opinion over Asim demotivating a contestant, which didn’t go down well with the Bigg Boss 13 runner-up. Rubina said, “Asim is demotivating; every player has their mindset.” Arguing back, Asim responded, “It’s not about demotivating, when I am asking someone to do something, and they are not even attempting it. Then what are mentors for?”
Rubina then reminded him that he was a mentor and not a coach, to which Asim answered, “I am a coach too, you don’t know about my real life.” Rubina further added, “You are not her coach, she would have a mindset, I am just saying don’t make her lose confidence.” She also lauded how Asim was guiding her through the task. However, things got nasty when Asim added, “It is not a TV serial, so chill.” Following this remark, Rubina lost her cool and said, “Asim, don’t go there. All I am saying is that in aggression or game play, she was so focused that she couldn’t hear you.”
Later, other judges had to intervene to calm the situation down. Other than Asim and Rubina, Rajat Dalal, Abhishek Malhan, and Shikar Dhawan are also seen as mentors on the show.
