Asim Riaz, who has been a part of several reality shows, has slammed reports claiming he was kicked out of the show Battleground. It was reported that he was removed from the show following a heated altercation with fellow judges Rubina Dilaik and Abhishek Malhan. However, Asim denied the claims made in the reports and responded by saying he "kicked the script and flipped the game."
Asim took to X (formerly Twitter) to react to the reports suggesting he had been 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.”
