The relationship between Bigg Boss 13 runner-up Asim Riaz and his ex-girlfriend Himanshi Khurana often remains in the headlines for some reason or the other. Recently, this controversy gained momentum when Himanshi Khurana spoke openly about religion and religious differences during her past relationship on Paras Chhabra’s podcast. There was an uproar on social media after Himanshi claimed that she felt pressured to change religion in her relationship. Reacting to this, Asim Riaz issued a long statement on Instagram and clearly rejected all these allegations. Asim said that he never pressured anyone to change his religion and using such a sensitive topic to gain publicity or spread hatred among people is a very childish act. This whole matter has once again created a stir on social media and a debate has erupted between the fans of both.
Asim Riaz’s sharp counterattack
Reacting to Himanshi Khurana’s statements, Asim Riaz released a post on his official Instagram handle. Asim rejected all the claims in which it was said that he had pressurized someone to convert to religion. Asim wrote that religion is a very sensitive topic and it should not be used as a weapon to gain publicity or spread hatred against oneself. He said that he never asked anyone to change his religion, rather he was such a person who always motivated him for fitness. Apart from this, Asim also targeted the questions being raised regarding his career and money and said that someone’s status can be known from his bank statement, but someone’s intentions or character can be judged by his yearning or desire to garner views.
Asim Riaz lashed out at Paras Chhabra’s podcast
Asim Riaz not only responded to Himanshi’s statements but also lashed out at podcast host Paras Chhabra. Taking aim at Paras without taking his name, Asim said that talking about such topics just for the sake of gossip and gathering views by upsetting years old relationships shows the mentality of the other person. Taking a jibe at the host of the podcast, he said that instead of sitting behind the mic and discussing the lives of others, it is better for a person to pay a little attention to his health and fitness. After this statement of Asim, the debate has intensified on the internet whether it is right to bring old relationships in front of the public like this or not.
What was the whole controversy and Himanshi Khurana’s statement?
This entire controversy started when Himanshi Khurana had appeared as a guest on Paras Chhabra’s podcast. During the conversation, when she was asked about the old report in which there was talk of her changing religion, Himanshi expressed her views openly. She said that she would not call it a complete ‘conversion’, but her then partner (Asim) had told her the good things about his religion and wanted her to understand and adopt it. Himanshi told that during that time she was mentally very confused and she started feeling as if she was betraying her own God. Recalling an incident, she told that one night such a situation had come when she felt that she would not be able to follow her religious traditions further, after which she thought of having darshan of God. After these revelations of Himanshi, a new storm has arisen on social media.
