Eyewitnesses reported that Asim Riaz lost his temper during the press conference, aggressively pushing Rajat Dalal multiple times while commanding him to “Peeche ho” (move back). The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, but the intensity of the confrontation left attendees visibly shocked.
In response to the escalating situation, Shikhar Dhawan intervened, attempting to separate the two and mediate the conflict. Meanwhile, Rubina Dilaik chose to distance herself from the altercation, stepping aside as events unfolded.
Both Riaz and Dalal have histories of public disputes. Rajat Dalal previously made headlines for a confrontation with Bigg Boss 18 contestant Digvijay Rathee. Similarly, Asim Riaz garnered attention when he exited “Khatron Ke Khiladi 14” following a disagreement with fellow participants.
“Battleground,” the show being promoted at the press conference, is an upcoming fitness reality series set to stream on Amazon MX Player. The program features four regional teams—Mumbai Strikers, Haryana Bulls, Delhi Dominators, and UP Dabangs—competing under the mentorship of fitness and lifestyle experts within the “Battleground House.” Shikhar Dhawan serves as the Supermentor for the series.
