Asim Riaz breaks silence on the Battleground controversy; says, “I kicked the script and flipped the game”

Asim Riaz, known for his fiery personality and reality show appearances, is once again making headlines. However, this time, it’s not for the right reasons. Recently, the actor-model reportedly faced an unceremonious exit from the reality show Battleground following heated arguments with co-contestants Abhishek Malhan and Rubina Dilaik. The incident has left fans and netizens buzzing with curiosity over what exactly transpired on set.
Amid speculations, Asim has finally addressed the controversy by giving his first official statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In a cryptic note, the Bigg Boss 13 fame star dismissed reports that he was “kicked out,” instead claiming that he took control of the narrative.
“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,” Asim wrote, signaling his frustration and refusal to back down.
Despite the backlash, Asim continues to enjoy unwavering support from his core fanbase. Many of his followers took to social media to cheer him on, praising his boldness and unapologetic attitude. “No matter what happens, Asim stays real. That’s what sets him apart,” wrote one user. Another commented, “He’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s what makes him original. Let them talk — Asim walks.”
However, not all responses were supportive. A section of netizens expressed concern over his temperament and its long-term impact on his career. “Dude’s got potential but zero control over his anger. You can’t build a career on just attitude,” one user wrote. Another added, “Asim really needs someone to ground him. These outbursts are costing him everything — fans, work, and respect.”
