Battleground has been currently grabbing headlines for its major controversies and fights. One of the biggest controversies of this season was
Asim Riaz getting ousted from the show. Neeraj Goyat then replaced him as the new team leader on the show. Now, yet another major fight has been making rounds on the internet and it is between
Rubina Dilaik and
Rajat Dalal. Both were passionate about fitness but held extremely different views, and the exchange of comments turned into a
verbal spat.
In the episode, Rubina lost her cool over Rajat Dalal when he asked her whether she knew anything about fitness in reality. She slammed him not to doubt her fitness and reminded him that she had given two infants just 17 months prior.
Rubina strikes back at Rajat's taunt, "Trophy will not be given based on powerlifting but on the basis of fitness. Maine India ka sabse bada
fitness show par raaj kiya hai. Minus two degrees mein hum stunts kiya karte the. 17 mahine ki mere betiyan hue hai, look at the level of fitness. Don’t ever say ke fitness ke show mein Rubina kya kar rahe hai. I am the ultimate
fitness queen."
This isn't the first time there have been major fights on the show, recently contestant
Pushpendra Rathi also quit the show after there was no action taken against the physical violence he faced in the show. "For me, self-respect is above anything. I won’t compromise on my values and principles, no matter what. I hope my decision will make people realize the importance of prioritizing
participant safety and well-being in such shows, " Rathi stated.
Interestingly, this comes shortly after another
Battleground controversy: the sudden exit of model rapper Asim Riaz, a former
Bigg Boss 13 competitor. Asim made headlines after a fight with judges Rubina Dilaik and Abhishek Malhan, and then shared a mysterious statement on X (previously Twitter), claiming he was not "kicked out" but had "taken control of the narrative."
