Rubina Dilaik has strongly reacted after her husband, Abhinav Shukla, allegedly received death threats from a fan of Asim Riaz. The controversy erupted following a heated exchange between Asim Riaz and Rubina Dilaik, who are both judges on the reality show ‘Battleground’. Asim reportedly made disrespectful remarks towards Rubina, questioning her role as a judge on the fitness-based show.
Abhinav Shukla, in response to the incident and in support of his wife, took to social media to criticize Asim’s behavior. He expressed his concern over the disrespect shown towards Rubina during the show. This led to a barrage of online attacks and eventually a direct death threat to Abhinav.
Abhinav shared a screenshot of the disturbing message he received on Instagram. The message, written in Hindi, mentioned the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and chillingly referenced the recent firing incident outside Salman Khan’s residence. The sender threatened Abhinav and his family, warning him against speaking further about Asim Riaz. Abhinav promptly shared the threat on his social media, tagging the Punjab and Chandigarh police and urging them to take swift action. He also appealed to anyone who recognized the sender to report them to the authorities.
Rubina Dilaik, known for her strong stance against online harassment, did not remain silent. She shared the screenshot of the threat on her Instagram story and issued a stern warning to the perpetrator and anyone else engaging in such behavior. “My silence is not my weakness! Don’t test my patience,” she wrote, making her stance clear against the threats directed at her husband and family.
The online spat has garnered significant attention, with many condemning the death threats and supporting Rubina and Abhinav. The incident highlights the dark side of fan culture and the serious consequences of online hate and threats. Authorities are expected to take cognizance of the complaint and investigate the matter further.
