Abhinav Shukla received a death threat from an alleged Asim Riaz fan, who used language strikingly similar to the threats previously made against actor Salman Khan. The sender also claimed affiliation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This came after Abhinav slammed Asim for his disrespectful comment about Rubina, where he said the actress was unfit for Battleground as it is a fitness show.
Now, Rubina has broken her silence on the death threats received by her husband. Sharing a screenshot of the threatening message from Asim’s fan, she took to her Instagram story and, in a fit of anger, wrote, “My silence is not my weakness! Don’t test my patience.”

Earlier today, Abhinav took to his X handle to share a screenshot of the message. The user, who went by the name Ankush Gupta, sent an abusive message to the actor in his Instagram DM. “Lawrence Bishnoi ka banda hoon. Tera address pata hai mere ko, aa jau kya Salman Khan ek ghar pe goli maara tha vaise tere bhi ghar aa kar goli maarunga ak47 se (sic),” a part of the message read.
Take a look:

“Last warning de raha hoon, Asim ko galat bolne ke Pehle tera naam par aa jayega thik hai. Lawrence Bishnoi jindabad, Lawrence Bishnoi bhai asim ke sath hai (sic),” the user wrote in the message.
Later, Abhinav took to his Instagram story to share the threats, writing, “All this s**t for a disagreement on a show?”
Asim has been allegedly kicked out from Battleground following his new fight with Abhishek Malhan and Rubina.
While the makers have not issued an official statement yet, Asim tweeted on Sunday that he was not ousted from the show. He wrote, “Paid media ain’t got a spine, just a rate card. They print what they’re told, I move when I decide. Keep shouting ‘kicked out’ , I kicked the script and flipped the game. Next headline? Make it count.”
