Abhinav Shukla receives DEATH THREATS for slamming Asim Riaz amid controversy with Rubina: ‘Ghar aakar goli..’

Television actor and filmmaker Abhinav Shukla has found himself at the receiving end of deeply disturbing and violent threats after publicly speaking out in support of his wife, actress Rubina Dilaik, following her on-set clash with rapper and reality TV personality Asim Riaz during the shoot of the reality show Battleground.

The controversy, which erupted earlier this week, involved a heated altercation between Asim Riaz, Rubina Dilaik, and YouTuber Abhishek Malhan. According to reports, a minor disagreement during the shoot on April 17 quickly escalated into an intense verbal spat. Eyewitness accounts suggest that Rubina stepped in to calm tensions between Asim and Abhishek, but ended up being insulted by Asim, further igniting the confrontation. The situation spiraled out of control, forcing all three to retreat to their vanity vans, ultimately bringing the shoot to an abrupt halt.

In the aftermath, Abhinav took a stand on social media, criticizing Asim’s behavior towards Rubina. While Asim later posted cryptic messages defending himself, Abhinav’s support for his wife seems to have drawn the wrath of a section of Asim’s fanbase, including some individuals making serious and criminal threats.

On Sunday, 20th April, Abhinav shared a screenshot of an alarming direct message that threatened his life in graphic detail. The message, allegedly from a self-proclaimed follower of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, read: Mai Lawrence Bishnoi ka banda ho, tera address pata hai. Mere ko aa jaun kya goli marne ke liye, jaise Salman Khan ke ghar par aa kar goli marta tha, waise tera ghar aa kar goli marunga AK47 se. Tera aur tera ghar wale home guard ke log par 15 log le kar Mumbai par. Tera yeh bhi pata hai tu kitne baje kaam par hota hai shooting par. Tera ko last warning de kar raha hoon, Asim ko galat bolne ke pehle tera naam news par aa jayega theek hai. Lawrence Bishnoi zindabad. Lawrence Bishnoi bhai Asim ke saath hai.

In a follow-up post, Abhinav exposed another threat that not only mentioned him but ominously targeted his family as well. The message read: Asim Riaz karma is so stronger you will know jab tumhari family ke saath kuch hoga. Sid ne Asim ke saath galat kiya, wo mar gaya. KKK mein uske saath galat hua, KKK band ho raha hai. Ab Rubina ki baari. God will always protect him from TV industry people, witches/demons. Tu Asim se hamesha jalta tha. 2 saal se wahi nafrat tune Rubina mein daalke usse show pe bheja. Lekin god will give you answer, bcz uske khilaaf jo bhi gaya hai uska bohot bura hi hua hai.

While sharing the screenshots, Abhinav captioned one of them with a sharp retort: All this shit for a disagreement on a show.

He also posted the profile of the alleged sender and appealed to his followers to report the account for spreading hate and issuing life-threatening messages.

The incident has shocked fans and fellow celebrities alike, highlighting the increasingly toxic culture of celebrity trolling and the dangerous extremities of fan loyalty in the age of social media. Abhinav has not yet confirmed whether legal action has been initiated, but the gravity of the threats has sparked widespread concern.

Asim Riaz, meanwhile, continues to maintain his stance that he “flipped the script” and walked out of Battleground on his own terms, claiming the show was scripted and that he refused to follow a pre-decided narrative. His cryptic posts and strong language have kept the controversy in the headlines, while his silence on the abusive messages being sent in his name has drawn criticism from some quarters
