A video has been rapidly circulating on social media for the past two days. This video captures a heated confrontation between actor and Bigg Boss contestant Asim Riaz and influencer-YouTuber Rajat Dalal. The intense altercation has left fans shocked and curious about what led to such a serious clash, escalating from verbal abuse to physical scuffle. Today, the real reason behind this controversy has finally come to light. In this article, we will reveal why the dispute between the two escalated to the point of a physical altercation.
Asim Riaz and Rajat Dalal will soon be seen in a fitness reality show, Battleground, which will stream for free on MX Player from April 5. The show will feature four teams, Haryana Bulls (led by Rajat Dalal), Mumbai Strikers (Rubina Dilaik), Delhi Dominators (Abhishek Malhan), and UP Dabang (Asim Riaz), competing against each other in a test of strength and endurance. Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan will mentor the show. Running for four weeks, Battleground will challenge not just physical fitness but also mental resilience. However, before the show even began, Asim and Rajat’s confrontation has already made it the talk of the town.
Reason behind Asim Riaz and Rajat Dalal’s fight
The reason behind their heated clash can be seen in Battleground’s promo, which Asim recently shared on his Instagram. In the promo, Shikhar Dhawan expresses his excitement about his debut show. Soon after, the team leaders start exchanging taunts. Rajat boldly claims, “Haryana Bulls will win this game; the rest are just here for show.” Rubina immediately counters, asserting that her team, Mumbai Strikers, will dominate. Abhishek then takes a jab at Rubina, declaring, “No one can challenge Delhi Dominators.”
When Asim’s turn comes, he takes a dig at Abhishek, saying, “UP Dabang won’t let anyone else win.” But things take a sharp turn when Asim directly targets Rajat’s team, stating, “I don’t even consider Haryana Bulls as competitors.”
This remark hit Rajat like an arrow. He immediately retorted, “How can you underestimate my team?” Asim, visibly angry, shot back, “Shouting won’t change anything.”
That was the tipping point. Both men stood up from their seats during the press conference, and Asim pushed Rajat. Rajat didn’t hold back and pushed Asim in return. The tension escalated, and just when it seemed like a full-blown fight would break out, Shikhar Dhawan stepped in to diffuse the situation. Asim, still furious, threw his mic and stormed off.
Shikhar tried to lighten the mood, saying, “These guys may throw bouncers, but the final shot will be mine.” Meanwhile, Rubina remained silent throughout, appearing to distance herself from the heated exchange.
