Abhinav Shukla Hits Back At Asim Riaz's "Sympathy" Remarks; Says, "Character Over Content..."

The drama between Abhinav Shukla and Asim Riaz seems far from over. Just a day after Asim accused Abhinav of "seeking sympathy" on social media, Abhinav appears to have hit back with a sharp response.

Abhinav Shukla Lashes Out At Asim Riaz:

Taking to his Instagram stories, Shukla posted a lengthy note that seems to be aimed directly at Asim, referencing his "aggressive" behaviour and reality show conduct.

His note reads, "Yo, what's up, yo! He knows me well, yo!!! ... But he just made one punctuation mistake! 'Or' nahi, 'and'. 'I STAND TALL & STAY SILENT.' That's why no reality show could force me to become a constantly cribbing, aggressive, and abusive loudmouth! Character over content. If pushing around and breaking set property is the best one can achieve with muscles built by lifting, I am not impressed! Try MMA, play for the Nation! Anyway, chill OUT YO!"

Abhinav Gets Death Threats:

For those unaware, Abhinav, on Sunday, shared that he had reportedly received a death threat from a social media user who claimed to be part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The threat followed a verbal argument between his wife, actress Rubina Dilaik, and rapper Asim Riaz on the show Battleground.

According to screenshots and videos shared by Abhinav on his X (formerly Twitter) account, the threat message was sent from a profile under the name Ankush Gupta. The message warned Shukla of harm and made a chilling reference to the attack on Salman Khan's residence.

"I'm from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang. I know your address. Should I come over? Just like Salman Khan was shot at, I'll come to your house and shoot you with an AK-47," the message read in Hindi. "Consider this your final warning. Say anything about Asim, and your name goes on the list. Lawrence Bishnoi stands with Asim," it further read.

Asim Had Called Him Out For Taking "Sympathy":

Hours after Abhinav went public with the threat, Asim took to Instagram Stories asking him to stop "fishing for sympathy" and claimed the internet is full of fake comments and IDs. "And stop fishing for sympathy off fake comments from fake IDs. This is the internet--anyone can type anything. Stand tall or stay silent," a part of the note read.
